All things considered, males who are affected by economic development, have a chance of not falling into the male underachievement category and it is all due to family. It is the support and sacrifices of their families, be it single parent or not, that aid in them excelling. Additionally, the discipline instilled by their parents also play a big part in them succeeding, as well as motivation. 

However, it is rarely heard of for men to be the victim. There are cases on men being the victim in unfortunate circumstances but no one brings it up and fight for men’s rights.

Males are humans too, with emotions whether it is shown openly or not. When justice is not given for the crimes committed against them, they fear for their lives which led to them staying away from places, such as school. No school means no education, which in affect employment opportunities, and results in male underachievement.

Many males who pursue careers in woman dominated fields are generally self-taught. In most cases, they do not set out to do these careers. When pursuing a higher education, they usually stick to regular male dominated fields, however they may possess certain talents and skills, such as an eye for colour, etc. and used it to benefit themselves and their friends. Realizing the potential they have, they make an enjoyable career out of it

The phenomenon of men pursuing women dominated career should not be considered as male underachievement because firstly, especially in the contemporary Caribbean, these jobs earn a significantly good salary. Secondly, the males are successful and are stilling earning a living, which can provide for their families.
