title: Raising children is expensive in the 1990s and beyond.
abstract: Costs of raising children continue to rise. At the same time, the marked increase in the proportion of two-earner families and single-parent families places added burdens on families to develop and pay for child care arrangements. A review is provided of current and anticipated financial costs of raising children during the 1990s and planning for the finances of their future years.
