| Abstract
|
:
|
These papers on the theme of investments in children are loosely built around two dimensions of parental investments: resources and behaviours. The papers discuss how parents differ in the resources they have available with which to invest, the choices parents make, the behaviors they engage in, and relevant policy and program interventions.
