Report: Beyond Equality – State of UK Men 2025

Equimundo’s State of UK Men 2025 is a ground-breaking 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.

While the focus of this report is on men the findings echo some of the messages in the reports linked below and will be of interest to anyone working with boys and young men.
