Familia Oeconomica: A Survey of the Economics of the Family.
The first part of the paper demonstrates how the economic analysis of the family helps us understand the dramatic changes undergone by the institution of the family in industrialized countries during recent years, including later marriage and motherhood, more divorce and one parent families, lower birth rates, and a growing proportion of women in paid employment. The second part discusses the implications of family economics for other parts of economics, including savings and capital investment, tax incidence, economic growth and developement, and the transmission of wealth and poverty across generations.
