If such an increase is coupled with a greater use of childcare by children from lower-income households, the result could be considerable inequality reduction among households with children. Other flows neglected in the standard framework but not considered in this chapter are services provided by firms as well as other non-market resources such as time and home production that contribute to households’ living standards and their capacity to attend to their needs. A discussion of the value of home production based on time use surveys can be found in Miranda (2011).
