I love your class-based reading of this and also think there is a racially charged one as well--the diagram seems to carry some stereotypes that I think they are trying to fight (e.g. child is dark but with blue eyes, mom is varying skin colored--based on her level of work outside the home?--with black hair in a bob cut). Normally I would love to see the middle class white woman profile complicated but, as you point out, given the anxiety of the whole thing, I am less sure. Nice work!
Longitudinal study produces good cross sectional statistics that can be used as a research topic like: which kids are more happy and healthy? working moms kids or notworkingmoms kids? I will check now if there exists an article like that. Thanks for sharing this video. As for the media bit. Media is corrupt and biased most of the times.
This is very good..good point that you made about the mom being faceless. we have U.S.A today here in Sweden :).. anyway you are right about the fact that really women feel unnoticed. and status priority is apparent here.
I just thought I'd toss it out there that perhaps the child's facial expression was based on the fact these 2 women (perhaps mothers) are having to leave their kids behind during the day to work. Either way...the article makes ya think.
great comment on this statistique i also notice it says in the bottm of the pic that this is a longitudinal survey but it gives results for only a certain date and doesn't show the changes happening over time

Do you think the expression on the child's face has anything to do with the fact that the 2 authors are women?

I'm not sure. It's hard to know, given the many different people involved in putting a paper together, such as editors.

This is both brilliant and insightful. But, then again, I expect nothing less from Anthrovlog!
