[An evaluation of the direct costs of having a child, 1979-1989].
The authors examine some of the factors that need to be considered when estimating the cost of having and raising children in developed societies.  The focus is on the situation in France.  "In 1989, two children cost less than one child multiplied by two.  The cost of a child rises as he grows older.... The cost of a child seems to be higher than it was 10 years ago.  In 1989, the cost of a child for an average yearly income of 164,000 French francs was thought to be around 4,100 French francs a month." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)
