'PARENTAL BURNOUT': A recent study found that having more than one child could negatively impact parents’ mental health.
According to thein April, researchers found a correlation between the number of children parents have and the decline of their late-life cognition.
"We found evidence that the negative cognitive effect of having three or more versus two children was largest in Northern Europe relative to the other European regions. Although standards of living in the Nordic countries are very high, so are costs. Estimates based on purchasing power parities suggest that the prices of goods and services are up to three times higher in the Nordic than in other European countries," researchers wrote.
The study was put together by the university UCLouvain in Belgium and thousands of parents in 42 countries participated. All surveys were taken from January 2018 through March 2020, before the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when stress levels were sure to be exacerbated.
