Abstract

Household production contains activities and their outcomes in the private households which concern the production of goods and the performance of services by household members and their social networks for themselves. In the area of goods examples vary from everyday housework to housing construction, in the area of services from child care to caring for old aged household members. Important outcomes are not only economic values but also immaterial contributions to the individual well-being. The questions put in this framework concern selected aspects of household production in relation to the performance of the market system and the welfare state, the amount of household production in households of different composition, and the influence of factors like income level, social class and age of household members on household production activities.
