Publisher's Synopsis

Parents spend time as well as money on children. Yet most estimates of the 'cost' of children ignore the value of this time. Folbre provides a high but entirely credible estimate of the value of parental time per child by asking what it would cost to purchase a comparable sustitute for it.
