Taking the child as the unit of analysis, its main aims were : to establish household expenditure on children and to investigate variation by income, age and gender of child and by family size and status; to estimate certain of the indirect costs imposed by child rearing; to determine the nature and extent of extra household support for children; to specify and compare, the minimum direct costs of children according to budget standard, consensual, self-assessment and behavioural definitions; to examine the nature and degree of poverty in childhood according to those definitions given above; to investigate the 'economics of parenting': the extent to which children's aspirations are met at the expense of the living standards of parents; parent/child interactions on finance; parents' economic aspirations for their children; to explore childhood living standards from children's own perspectives, investigating their experience of money and its management; knowledge and understanding of the family's financial circumstances in the context of the immediate neighbourhood and wider society.Main Topics: The dataset includes the following files : 'adult1' : data from the first interview with the main carer of the child, covering household composition, occupation of adults in household, childcare for selected child, baby-sitting for selected child, housing tenure and size, attitudes to parenting, parental sacrifice, parental aspirations, index of childhood deprivation, access to facilities, parent-child interactions on finance and grouped household income.
