Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization 242 (2026) 107418 In further investigation of parental influence, we find that parents adopt more lenient parenting styles and have less rules with later-born children - a finding which is supported by the existing literature on birth order and parental involvement (Hotz and Pantano, 2015; Price, 2008). Further research on how parental rules and expectations impact children’s time use is needed to more fully uncover the precise mechanisms.

Leading theories on parenting in the United States suggest that parenting varies widely by socioeconomic status, with middle-class parents practicing "concerted cultivation"-marked by parents' intensive efforts to foster their children's development-and working-class parents engaging in the "accomplishment of natural growth"-with children given more freedom to manage their own time.
