Umfang: 1 online resource (248 p.)

ISBN: 9780674033641

Serie: The Family and Public Policy

Inhalt: 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.
