Download or read book Valuing Children written by Nancy Folbre and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
