I live in China, where every mobile game requires age verification. Teenagers can play for up to 1.5h/d on weekends. But as far as I can see, some parents will assist their children to unlock more time on purpose.

Handing over a phone is certainly cheaper than paying for extra childcare, though most likely much less healthy for the child.
I suppose idea is that Chinese women will stay at home with the child so the state doesn't have to provide any help?
The gov does provide some help. But a clearer trend is a lower marriage and birth rate
More like the state (at least in places like USA) cracked down on children roaming freely so now people hide their kids inside playing video games so a Karen doesn't call CPS when mommy has other things to do all day besides play helicopter parent staring down at their kid all day.
Is there any hard evidence that this is true compared to say 20 years ago. I’ve heard it repeated a million times but no one’s ever provided evidence

This was done because of the "personal responsibility" crowd. Easier to blame the parents than make the communities safer.
