That would be why now we have both people working not one. Leading to longer maternity leave and paid leave.
Young people are still buying houses or apartments and they have a better standard of living than their parents and grand parents, they live longer are healthier during their longer life.

Actually, that's thed point- we have had an improvment in standard of living, life expectency and health generation on generation- until THIS one. All three are predicted to fall- we are the first generation to bring kids into the world likely to live shorter, worse lives than we did.
Do you think the necessity of two income just to live is an improvement?
