I wonder what the correlation is with parents putting their kids into after schools clubs due to both parents working, meaning a higher possibility of nepotism?

Like that American study showing girls who had a horse growing up were in better health later in life lol.

I feel like both parents working is more common in working class families then rich ones. A rich family may have one of the parents working part time or not at all because they can afford it.

Yeah I figured the same after pondering a bit. I just wonder if there's some other correlation other than 'it makes you better at getting a good job'.

Competitive children become competitive adults? Well I never!

Correlation is not causation.
