No 27, Working Papers from Moscow State University, Faculty of Economics

Abstract: Under modern conditions in a view of the necessity of the efficient money spending and of the monitoring of the estimation of the demographic policy efficiency to create the costs structure for a child classification is highly up to date. The aim of the article is to investigate the cost for a child and to assign the place of the spendings for preschool child care and character building within the costs for a child classification framework. To achieve the aim, we identified the child care performers and their functions. Then we examined the existed cost for a child classifications for each performer. A family is the most important one, that’s why the special emphasis was focused on its spendings. We specified possible approaches for estimating the costs for a child while a special emphasis on the spendings for child care and character building was laid. As a result, a functional classification that allows to specificate such spendings was chosen. To manage social and economic processes better, to develop the preschool institutions system and to develop more effective fertility and labour policies the more active investigation of the spendings for child care and the classification of such spendings are needed. Also to consider child care as labour is very important because this will allow to increase its reputation and the quality of life for families with children.
