please, rather, try to think about it in terms of what best-explains the difference.
this data seems highly inversely correlated with productivity, in countries with lower productivity, people spend more time with their child. Time available seems to be the best explanatory factor.
No, this is not universal. There are parents who had a bad experience of education and think that is universal, and those who fear that their children will move away if they become educated. It's one of the challenges of teaching in particular areas.
If its the former could you expand on that, like they learnt to read and it messed their life up?
I understand the selfish desire to keep children near, no need to go in to that.
“Rich countries” are time poor that’s why they produce time related articles like these. :)
What does your FYI line mean - very cryptic.
