Resumen
Descripción
This study, using a survey of rural households in Zimbabwe in 1990 j91, focuses on the effects of changing
household composition on patterns of expenditure and provides estimates of the 'cost of a child' as well as of family
members in other age groups. In addition to age differences in the size and direction of responses to changing family
composition, the paper highlights significant differences across product groups. These effects are more muted in
larger households.
