Do Parents Amplify Genetic Inequality? Marina Aguilar-Palma

Dela

Do our genes become more important as we grow up? And do parents help their children overcome genetic disadvantages, or unintentionally make them worse?

Economist Marina Aguiar-Palma joins us to explore how genes and parental investments shape childhood development. We discuss why genetic influences seem to grow stronger with age, how parents respond to their children's genetic predispositions, and whether early childhood interventions can help reduce inequality. Plus: why might a cat be your best companion on a deserted island?
