Abstract

[fre] Même restreint au seul coût monétaire direct pour la famille, l'estimation du coût de l'enfant n'est pas chose aisée. La méthode des échelles d'équivalence propose de la mesurer par la dépense supplémentaire permettant à un ménage de maintenir son niveau de vie d'une configuration sans enfant à une configuration avec enfant. Cette dépense peut être éclatée suivant le nombre des enfants, leur âge et les différents postes de la consommation. . En 1989, deux enfants coûtent moins cher que deux fois un enfant. Le coût de l'enfant augmente avec son âge. Entre le poste transports où il est minimum, et celui des loisirs où il pèse le plus lourd, toutes les gradations existent, d'un poste budgétaire à l'autre, quant au surcroît de dépense occasionné par la venue d'un enfant. Il semble enfin que ce coût soit plus élevé qu'il y a dix ans. En 1989, le coût d'un enfant pour un budget moyen annuel de 164 000 francs est estimé à environ 4 100 francs par mois. [eng] An Estimate of a Child's Direct Cost from 1979 to 1989 - Estimates of how much a child costs are not easy to make, even when they are restricted only to the direct cost for the family. The method of equivalent scales proposes to measure the cost by the necessary extra expenses which enable a household to maintain their standard of living at its previous level when they have a child. These expenses can be classified according to the different functions of consumption. . In 1989, two children cost less than one child multiplied by two. The cost of a child rises as he grows older. When examining the extra costs due to the arrival of a child, between expenses devoted to transportation, an item where the child's cost is minimal, and those devoted to leisure, an item whose cost is the highest, other budget headings can be found at all levels. The cost of a child seems to be higher than it was 10 years ago. In 1989, the cost of a child for an average yearly income of 164 000 French francs was thought to be around 4 100 French francs a month. [spa] Una evaluation del costo directo del niño de 1979 a 1989 - La estimación de lo que cuesta un niño no es nada fácil de hacer aun cuando se limite únicamente al costo monetario directo para la familia. El metodo de escalas de equivalencia propone definir la estimación mediante el gasto suplementario que permite a un hogar mantener su mismo nivel de vida, variando de un modelo sin niño a otro con niño. Este gasto puede ser ventilado de acuerdo con los diferentes rubros de consumo. . En 1989, dos niños cuestan menos caro de lo que costaría dos veces un niño. El costo del niño se acrecienta con la edad. Entre el rubro transportes en el que el costo es mínimo y el de distracciones en el que tiene un gran peso, se pueden observar todas las variaciones de un renglón presupuestario a otro, en lo que se refiere al incremento de gastos ocasionados por la Ilegada de un niño a un hogar. El costo del ninb parece ser ahora más elevado que hace diez años. En 1989, para un presupuesto anual de 164 000 francos se estima en unos 4 100 francos mensuales el costo de un niño.
