Daughters may be getting more attention from parents than sons because they have a greater chance of having kids, according to a Carlson School of Management study.
The study, which will be published in November, found during economic recessions in the United States, parents are more likely to spend money on daughters than sons. Though the researchers believe the trend stems from a subconscious belief that daughters have a greater chance of having children in a recession than sons, some experts think gender doesn’t play a role in how parents allocate resources to their children.
