这项研究估计了欧洲一级无酬家庭照料活动的规模和价值。虽然在国家一级有几项研究，但迄今为止还没有对整个欧洲进行全面评价，主要原因是数据有限。本文填补了这一空白，使用的方法，合并的信息，欧洲收入和生活条件调查（EU-SILC）与协调欧洲时间使用调查（HETUS）。采用机会成本法和市场替代法计算无报酬家庭家务劳动和无报酬家庭育儿工作的货币价值。就整个欧洲而言，这些活动的总价值在欧盟国内生产总值的17%至31.6%之间，这取决于所采用的方法。这些活动的国家价值观进行了讨论，并在文化，经济发展和福利国家的差异方面给出了国家和家庭照顾成本的性别差异的解释。
This study estimates the size and value of unpaid family caretaking activities at a European level. While at a country level several studies are available, a comprehensive evaluation for Europe as a whole was missing so far, mainly due to data limitations. This article fills this gap using a method that merges the information of the European Survey of Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) with the Harmonised European Time Use Surveys (HETUS). Monetary values of unpaid family domestic work and unpaid family childcare work are obtained applying both the opportunity cost and the market replacement approaches. For Europe as a whole, the total value of these activities ranges between 17% and 31.6% of the EU Gross Domestic Product (GDP), depending on the applied methodology. The national values of these activities are discussed and an interpretation of the country and gender differentials in family caretaking costs is given in terms of differences in culture, economic development and welfare state.
