a. Care labor? Adults either pay for restaurants or pay for food they cooked themselves with ingredients purchased from stores or grown with their own labor. How do children get the food they eat? Why don't they pay for themselves? If someone else pays for it and gives it to the child without charge, what happens to that person's measured market productivity?

b. Who pays? Women tend to marry older and wealthier men, and men earn more because of gender discrimination. This means that in most heterosexual relationships, the men earn more money than the women.

i. Wives and mothers do a large share of care labor and this reduces their market productivity. Why do women do this?
