I cannot speak about Europe, but in the US, mid-seventies is when one US Political Party started its war on Education, and that accelerated in the 80s and still on going. So I agree it is lack of quality of free education in the early years of childhood development.
Too bad the study did not also look at IQ differences between private/public schools over the same period. By private, I mean the schools that only the very rich can send their children too.
Also, I did read somewhere else, a study was also done on increased CO2 and intelligence and found higher CO2 could lower peoples intelligence level.

- pessimizer 5y agoAttacking education has been bipartisan. It was absurd to attack Amway princess DeVos for pushing the same dismantling of public education that was accelerated by Arne Duncan under Obama. Democratic Party darling and shooting-concealer Rahm Emanuel closed down half of Chicago's public schools, whose entire white enrollment had already left with their vouchers to charters and privates so it didn't affect anyone who mattered. Hell, you could sell the buildings to the charters. edit: Former U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan endorses Kerr for state schools superintendent https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2021/04/03/arne-duncan-endorses-deb-kerr-wisconsin-schools-superintendent/7076612002/ https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2021/...
