Orgullo de madre-Maria Calvo

Ser madre nunca ha sido fácil. Los hijos casi siempre son inoportunos y llegan para desbaratar y poner patas arriba nuestra planificada vida personal y profesional. Convivir con una criatura así no es fácil, por mucho amor que se ponga. Además, tener hijos y cuidarlos con amor “colisiona” con el desarrollo personal y la autorrealización que exige nuestra sociedad enferma.

Taxing reproduction: the full transfer cost of rearing children in Europe

Taxing reproduction: the full transfer cost of rearing children in Europe

What are the intergenerational resource transfer contributions of parents and non-parents in Europe? Using National Transfer Accounts and National Time Transfer Accounts for 12 countries around 2010, we go beyond public transfers (net taxes) to also value two statistically much less visible transfers in the family realm: of market goods and of unpaid household labour (time). Non-parents contribute almost exclusively to public transfers. But parents additionally provide still larger private transfers: mothers mainly time, fathers mainly market goods.
