Women entering workforce did raised standard for a lot of them. The domestic violence and abuse rates against women are down by a lot. And yes, they go up and down with female employment too, employment affects how she can manage her status in family, how much is husband resentful over her being at home and crucially, how much she is locked. (I don't know male abuse stats and the whole topic is less talked about)

> opioid epidemic, obesity epidemic

Alcohol consumption is down against 1971. The heroin, cocain etc problems are smaller then they used to be. People are less violent overall.

People still live longer. And while they are obese, their life expectancy went up against that time. And some of it is that historical diseases from various malnutritions are down.

Economic standards are dropping for new graduates. But, it is not all bleak everything is worst situation.
