Placing an economic value
today on a woman’s contri-
bution to her family in the
future can help protect fami-
lies financially in the event
of her death or disability.
In placing these values, the
family needs to lock at the
possible economic !>ss they
face if the homemaker dies
or is disabled, and the
family needs to look at infor-
mation on the value of a
woman’s contribution to the
family.
The value of her contribu-
tion is needed so couples can
realistically decide how
much It would cost to hire
someone to do that work, in
case the need arose.
In addition to more finan-
cial responsibilities in the
marketplace, homemakers
continue to assume major
responsibility for household
work, which include mana-
gerial and physical activities
in the household by and for
family members for no pay.
Although household work
generally is not valued in
monetary terms unless it
goes through the market
system, its value is getting
greater emphasis in legal
settlements-and the house-
wife’s social role is being
considered.
Cornell University research
used “time” spent on
household work as an effec-
tive measure of a study on
the subject.
They identified workers in
the marketplace to perform
services similar to household
tasks normally engaged in
by family members.
They obtained hourly wage
rates for each of these job
categories: cook, dishwash-
1 ers, cleaning women, “han-
dymen,” washing-maching
operators, laundry workers,
clothes-maintenance special-
ists, child-care workers,
homemaker aides and ac-
counting clerks.
In addition, they concluded
that three major factors de-
termine the amount of time
spent on household work-
number of children, age of
youngest child and whether
or not the housewife Is
employed.
Using these three vari-
ables, the researchers esti-
mated the economic value of
household work for a wide
range of family composi-
tions, educational back-
grounds and job skills.
For example, based on the
calculations, a 1972 judg-
ment of $235,000 was award-
ed to a family as compensa-
tion for the loss of the home-
maker's contribution for the
next 19 years, when the
youngest of three children
would have reached age 21.

In planning for the future,
families should also remem
ber that Insurance compa-
nies keep up-to-date esti-
mates of the monetary value
of women’s contributions to
familles-to encourage fami-
lies to Insure the wife for
disability and death and to
assist in fair Insurance claim
settlementa.
Prudential Life Insurance
Company estimates that in
1977, the full-time home-
maker with a husband and
two children contributed
99.6 hours of work per
week-valued at $283.49, or
more than $15,000 per year.
Among possible planning
areas are life insurance,
health insurance, disability
income, retirement plan-
ning, emergency or contin-
gency savings, savings and
investments and employ-
ment securities.
