For those that believe people are poor because they did not work hard, I am curious what importance you attribute parenting to the outcomes of children?
Every parent I know invests a significant amount of time and often money in raising their children, and there is a significant amount of empirical evidence that parents play a significant role in how children develop. Do you simply believe the evidence to the contrary? It does exist, I am aware. It often seems to measure obviously superficial interventions, in my opinion, but I understand the debate.
What is the level of parenting beyond which there is no additional return in terms of economic outcome?
Because from what I understand, parents play a significant role in not only cognitive development (reading at an early age, for example) but also in terms of setting expectations for their children.
