Valuing Children: Rethinking the Economics of the Family - The Family and Public Policy
Nancy Folbre
While parents spend significant time as well as money on children, most estimates of the "cost" of children ignore the value of this time. Folbre provides a startlingly high but entirely credible estimate of the value of parental time per child by asking what it would cost to purchase a comparable substitute for it.
