  • Title: The relations among child quality, family structure, and the value of the mother's time in Malaysia.
    Author: Leppel K.
    Journal: Malay Econ Rev; 1982 Oct; 27(2):61-70. PubMed ID: 12266446.
    Abstract:
    A model of the determinants of child quality and of the value of a woman's time is developed and tested using data from the Malaysian Family Life Survey of 1976-1977. Child quality is measured by educational attainment; factors influencing the value of the mother's time include size and age composition of household, family income, education, and hours worked. The results indicate that size and age composition of household affect a woman's asking wage. However, more data are needed before the effects of family structure on schooling can be measured with confidence.
