This paper reports on a survey of the work contribution of children to their parents' household and shows that, from the parents' perspective, high fertility and large numbers of surviving children are economically rational propositions. Male children appear to become net producers at least by age 12, compensate for their cumulative consumption by age 15 and compensate for their own and one sister's cumulative consumption by age 22.
