How was what to men during the Great Depression different from what happened to women and children?
Each groups role in their families
The change each group had to make
What help was available to them

Life was difficult during the depression. It was however different toward each family group. The role in the family was different for men than it was for women. And children. Children had no responsibilities, women did not have to work, but men had the hard responsibility of providing money, food and shelter for the entire family. Many men just wandered the street looking for a new job.
Each group also had to change to the mood of the depression. Men had to go out and find other jobs to get. Women had to save money and conserve food. Some even went out and got jobs to support their family. Children did not have much change to adapt to.
However, each group had help available to them. The government always had new building projects with which men could obtain a good steady job with good pay. Women also got more jobs.
