title: [New estimates of child costs in Canada].
abstract: "In order to be able to appraise to what extent policy measures compensate for the cost of rearing a child, one needs an estimate of this cost.  In this paper, the author presents a new model which is applied to data obtained from the survey of family expenditures, made in 1982 by Statistics Canada.  The first part is devoted to the methodological and theoretical considerations on which the model is based, and the second part analyses the estimates of the cost of a child, according to age and rank of the child, and standard of living of the family."
