Absolutely. I’m extremely skeptical of the type of analysis in OP when quality of life for young people is objectively decaying.

Life expectancies are going down. Children born today are not likely to be as wealthy as their parents. Two major economic disruptions within a generation have permanently stunted economic outlooks at critical times. Many are stuck renting, many others are stuck with student loans they will never pay off.

Given all of that and more, the real question is what kind of parenting could have prepared kids for this? Letting kids play outside a little more isn’t going to cut it.
