I don't have any peer reviewed studies to point to here, but I do remember reading about both the stagnation of middle-class incomes and the rising cost of childcare in recent years.
If you take those ideas as fact and couple them with the people commenting on the 'parenting police state' it makes sense that we're seeing an increase in time spent with children.
Will this increased parenting time lead to humans that are better or worse prepared to cope with and thrive in the world after leaving the nest?
