Here is a pretty clear indication that people are just not having children.
Maybe the percentage of stay at home parents has stayed the same but the number of stay at home parents has shrunk because the number of all parents has just shrunk as well.
None of that really helps indicate why IQ in certain metrics related to communication would be in decline. Since the percentages are the same you would think outcomes would be similar then.
So are kids getting dumber or are parents just getting worse?
Or other factors in our environment are contributing to this. An increase in smart devices autocorrecting and doing 'math' for us for example.

- watwut 3y agoWhat about this: stay at home parenting comment was as pure attempt on pushing ideology as can be. There were so many changes in the meantime - parenting is more intense, kids read less, kids watch videos more, kids socialize differently, school system is more demanding and kids finish more years of schooling, that taking a single aspect and making conclusions off it is unlikely to end up with reasonable results.
