“…The main result of an equalising eect of home production can be expected on the basis of standard economic theory, assuming that households with lower overall working hours will spend more time on unpaid work, to compensate partly for lower incomes. Frazis and Stewart (2009), addressing the same problem of the relation between household extended income and inequality on the evidence of American time use data for 2003, also nd that extended income is more equally distributed than money income.…”

GDP and the Value of Family Caretaking:How Much Does Europe Care?This study estimates the size and value of unpaid family caretaking activities at a European level. While at a country level several studies are available, a comprehensive evaluation for Europe as a whole was missing so far, mainly due to data limitations. This paper fills this gap using a method that merges the information of an EU household survey (EU-SILC) with a time use survey (HETUS). Monetary values of unpaid family domestic work and unpaid family childcare work are obtained applying both the opportunity cost and the market replacement approaches. For Europe as a whole, the total value of these activities ranges between 20.1 per cent and 36.8 per cent of the EU GDP, depending on the applied methodology. The national values of these activities are discussed and an interpretation of the country differentials in the family caretaking gender gaps is given in terms of differences in culture, economic development and welfare state.JEL Classification: D19, J16, R20

Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character. A revised version may be available directly from the author. Given day-to-day variation in how people spend their time, this distinction is analytically important. We examine the conditions necessary to make inferences about the time use of individuals from a sample of person-days. We also discuss whether and how surveys with multiple household members or multiple days are an improvement over single-diary surveys. JEL Classification:C81, D13, C83

“…La investigación empírica sugiere que la valoración del trabajo que no es de mercado tiene un fuerte efecto igualador en el ingreso y consumo prolongado (Frick et al, 2009;Frazis y Stewart, 2011;Folbre 2015). Asimismo, constituye un importante ahorro para el hogar, en tanto que todos aquellos bienes y servicios que se producen en su interior evita tener que comprarlos a precio de mercado (Dema y Díaz, 2014).…”

Care is an expansive concept that includes the set of activities aimed at ensuring the survival and well-being of the population. This article aims to analyze and characterize care as an economic good whose provision is made through the market, public administration and households, with different implications and treatments in these three spheres. To this end, once the problem posed by this good from a multidisciplinary perspective is presented, we will focus on the characteristics that economic theory gives to economic goods and discuss how each of them manifests in the case of care. We will also analyze care's supply and demand curves, the agents involved and its market equilibrium. The economic description leads us to consider that the behavior of this market deviates substantially from the characteristics of the so-called perfect competition market and it also indicates the need to carry out a social reorganization of care. Key words: care, economic analysis, economic good, care market, demand and supply of care. Resumen: El cuidado es un concepto expansivo que incluye el conjunto de actividades tendentes a garantizar la supervivencia y el bienestar de la población. Este artículo se propone analizar y caracterizar el cuidado como bien económico cuya provisión se realiza a través del mercado, administración pública y hogar, con implicaciones y tratamientos diferentes en estos tres ámbitos. Para ello, una vez presentada la problemática planteada desde una perspectiva pluridisciplinar, nos centraremos en las características que la teoría económica otorga a los bienes económicos y discutiremos cómo cada una de ellas se manifiesta en el cuidado. También se analizarán sus curvas de oferta y demanda, los agentes implicados y el equilibrio del mercado. La descripción económica realizada nos conduce a considerar que el comportamiento de este mercado es claramente imperfecto y además nos indica la necesidad de efectuar una reorganización social del cuidado. Palabras clave: cuidado, análisis económico, bien económico, mercado de cuidado, demanda y oferta de cuidado.
