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.

Book Synopsis Love, Money, and Parenting by : Matthias Doepke
Download or read book Love, Money, and Parenting written by Matthias Doepke and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doepke and Zilibotti investigate how economic forces shape how parents raise their children. They show that in countries with increasing economic inequality, such as the United States, parents push harder to ensure their children have a path to security and success. Economics has transformed the hands-off parenting of the 1960s and '70s into a frantic, overscheduled activity. Growing inequality has also resulted in an increasing 'parenting gap' between richer and poorer families, raising the disturbing prospect of diminished social mobility and fewer opportunities for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. The authors discuss how investments in early childhood development and the design of education systems factor into the parenting equation, and how economics can help shape policies that will contribute to the ideal of equal opportunity for all. --From publisher description.
Book Synopsis Economics of Child Care by : David M. Blau
Download or read book Economics of Child Care written by David M. Blau and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1991-09-19 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "David Blau has chosen seven economists to write chapters that review the emerging economic literature on the supply of child care, parental demand for care, child care cost and quality, and to discuss the implications of these analyses for public policy. The book succeeds in presenting that research in understandable terms to policy makers and serves economists as a useful review of the child care literature....provides an excellent case study of the value of economic analysis of public policy issues." —Arleen Leibowitz, Journal of Economic Literature "There is no doubt this is a timely book....The authors of this volume have succeeded in presenting the economic material in a nontechnical manner that makes this book an excellent introduction to the role of economics in public policy analysis, and specifically child care policy....the most comprehensive introduction currently available." —Cori Rattelman, Industrial and Labor Relations Review

Book Synopsis ECONOMICS FOR CHILDREN by : Ranganayakamma
Download or read book ECONOMICS FOR CHILDREN written by Ranganayakamma and published by Sweet Home Publications. This book was released on with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From childhood, children need games, songs, stories and many more things. Though the stories are full of fantasies and superstitions, the children must also receive scientific facts along with these. Science is a knowledge which elucidates the real matters with proofs regarding the nature that we exist in and the society that we live in. Children are innocent. They learn and trust in what is told to them by the elders at home and at school. The elders will convey to their children what they have learnt from their elders. They teach the children only what they were taught. Children or adults, they will start to think only when they receive scientific knowledge. One need not learn all the aspects of science related to Nature. Every person need not thoroughly learn the medical sciences. It would suffice if they are familiar with the routine hygiene principles to practice on a daily basis. When ailments descend on people, the clinicians will take care of the diseases. Every person need not have the medical knowledge as much as clinicians do. This also applies to the other natural sciences. However, this is not the case with the science that teaches us regarding the society that we live in. We are human beings, not animals. The animals are born and are dead the same way as they were born. They do not need any kind of science or knowledge. The human being, however, must know about human relations. The Economic Science explains relations among humans and their ways of living. This is the science that portrays the lives of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Every person must be aware of this knowledge.

Harriet is the class clown, Amelia is the new girl who thinks she knows best, and Didi is Resa's steadfast friend—who doesn't know the first thing about making or selling lemonade.
