Abstract
Estimating the Loss in Earned Income for a Woman with Children by Christine Barnet-Verzat This paper sets out to make a contribution to the evaluation of the loss in earned income for women with children throughout working lives. Our method evaluates income curves from estimates of labour participation equations and wage equations survey data. The results show that the loss can be as high as one million French francs throughout the working life of a woman three children, that the timing of births has little effect on this, and that the sociocultural level is a determining factor. The of the cost of children taking the form of both a loss in income and a deterioration in human capital is largely confirmed.
