围绕着社会再生产成本的划分，存在着三个悖论：* 越来越多的妇女进入了有酬劳动力队伍，但她们仍然承担着大部分家务和育儿等无酬劳动。* 出生率下降了，但越来越多的母亲在父亲很少或根本没有帮助的情况下独自抚养子女。* 政府支出的增长常常被归咎于市场失灵或官僚主义失控。但是，很大一部分社会支出替代了曾经在家庭内部进行的收入转移。谁为孩子买单？解释了这种矛盾的情况是如何出现的。社会再生产的费用主要由妇女支付：男子仍然极不愿意支付他们抚养下一代的费用。传统的理论--新古典主义、马克思主义和女权主义--只能对此提供不完整的解释，而本书提供了另一种分析，这种分析基于个人的选择，但又处于基于性别、年龄、性别、民族、种族和阶级的连锁约束结构之内。
Three paradoxes surround the division of the costs of social reproduction: * Women have entered the paid labour force in growing numbers, but they continue to perform most of the unpaid labour of housework and childcare. * Birth rates have fallen but more and more mothers are supporting children on their own, with little or no assistance from fathers. * The growth of state spending is often blamed on malfunctioning markets, or runaway bureaucracies. But a large percentage of social spending provides substitutes for income transfers that once took place within families. Who Pays for the Kids? explains how this paradoxical situation has arisen. The costs of social reproduction are largely paid by women: men have remained extremely reluctant to pay their share of the costs of raising the next generation. Traditional theories - neo-classical, Marxist and Feminist - can only provide an incomplete account of this, and this book offers an alternative analysis, based on individual choices but within interlocking structures of constraint based on gender, age, sex, nation, race and class.
