Is it worth having kids? - YouTube
USD 400k up to college for 1 child.
Financial implications are big. Children are expensive.
Motherhood penalty.
Over the last 50 or 60 years, we’ve seen big changes in gender dynamics and in countries where we’ve seen that men have become more equal partners with women in raising kids. We see that fertility rates are actually higher than in similar countries where men aren’t contributing as much to child-rearing and housework.
Fertility rates have fallen below 2.1 children per woman. The rate needed to maintain a stable population. (in some developed countries?)

Australia is proud to have supported the study on the Costs of Raising Children with Disabilities in the Philippines. A first of its kind globally, this study provides information about additional costs faced by families of children with disabilities, including estimates of these costs.
Australia has been a trusted partner of the Philippines in social protection for more than a decade. We believe that effectively addressing the needs of the most vulnerable Filipinos provides the bedrock for social cohesion and development. Recognising the multiple layers of exclusion they experience, we are pleased to shed light on the socio-economic challenges experienced by Filipino children with disabilities and their families.
This disability costing study was completed through the strong collaboration between Australia, the Department of Social Welfare and Development, and UNICEF. I commend the dedication of our partners in progressing this initiative despite the pandemic-related challenges of the last few years. I look forward to the final phase and most exciting part of this stream of work: the development and piloting of a social protection program for children with disabilities.
We also acknowledge the research teams from Oxford Policy Management, the University of Melbourne, and Life Haven Center for Independent Living for sharing your extraordinary professional expertise with the project. This landmark study highlights longstanding gaps surrounding disability inclusion in the Philippines. I hope this great work becomes a key reference as we protect and honour the rights of children with disabilities.
