Can you provide some sources? Last time I looked into statistics on these topics I found the opposite to be true.

The brothers Rosling have a nice talk about how all the big stats are improving globally (gender equality, education, health, extreme poverty, life expectation)

All the stats that we self-interested humans care about anyway.

The stats on the planet we live in are bad and getting worse. There is 30% more carbon dioxide in the air now than when I was born.

All the improvements in gender equality mean nothing compared to that and the trend behind it.

The parent I responded to was not talking about climate change. Sure that's a whole different debate

Sources on these? Society has been far better than 100 years ago. And broken families? Or people marrying early due to societal pressure and not being able to divorce back then (whether legally or societally), who are now finally able to do so. The divorce rate is actually going down simply because people are marrying when they want to, not when society pressures them to.
