Hypothesis
Cross-cultural variation in children's degree of childcare (ages 6-10) is linked to predominant subsistence strategy.
Note
Girls generally do more than boys. Results are significantly different for girls, by only marginal for boys. For girls, hunter-gatherer girls do the least childcare amongst hunter-gatherers.
