Non-Market Household Time and the Cost of Children
نویسندگان
چکیده
Raising children demands a considerable amount of parental time, obliging working parents either to further reduce their leisure or to buy child-care services in the market. Parents may face additional opportunity costs upon deciding to participate in the labor market, but these are difficult to measure. Using a survey instrument in Belgium and Germany, we estimate the income compensation needed to maintain family well-being when adults work vs. when they do not enter the labor market. In both countries we find that full-time working parents face extra child costs and require higher labor-market-participation compensation compared to childless adults.
