I’m not covinced money can overcome lack of stable family relationships. It certainly helps but seems like a small piece when it comes to healthy childhood development. I know lots of messed up rich kids and celebrity kids are not famously stable either.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoIt may not, but consider a) financial issues are the #1 reason for divorce. so statistically speaking, higher financial status will lead to less divorces which supports the notion given in the article b) a hopefully agreeable premise that a rich unstable relationship ends up with a better kid than a poor unstable relationship. it's not as simple as "money solves problems", but it seems to correlate .
- paulpauper 3y agomaybe not as stable, but they do better in terms of life outcomes anyway . like earning more money due to name recognition and trust funds. To say otherwise is moving the goalposts. Economists when they talk about life outcomes are talking about quantifiable things like wealth.
