Equimundo’s State of UK Men

Article here. Excerpt:

'Equimundo’s State of UK Men 2025 is a groundbreaking new study developed in partnership with Beyond Equality, offering a candid, evidence-based look at the emotional, economic, and cultural realities shaping the lives of men and boys across the UK today.

At a time when conversations about masculinity are often dominated by fear or blame, this study urges a shift: from panic to positive engagement. It highlights a generation of men who are navigating deep uncertainty – about identity, purpose, connection, and the future – but who are also seeking help, building community, and expanding what it means to be a man.

What the Report Shows:

The State of UK Men in 2025: 91 percent of men and women in the UK believe that being a friend is the number one defining trait of masculinity. Yet nearly two-thirds of men say they have to look out for themselves because no one else has their back.

Men’s Purpose in Times of Insecurity: Half of men across all income groups say they constantly worry about keeping a roof over their heads. Financial pressure and insecurity continue to shape men’s sense of purpose, identity, and well-being.'
