The Economic Value of Mom's Work - Budgeting and Personal ...

How much is a mom and dad's domestic work worth?

Domestic tasks that are typically considered to be "mom's work" has a market value of $60,182, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics as reported by MSN Money. That's the cost of hiring out all the tasks that are commonly associated with motherhood.

Men and fathers continue to -- on average -- earn more money outside of the home than women and moms do. A 2007 study by the Pew Research Center found that 78 percent of husbands out-earn their wives.

This diminishes the time and value of a dad's contributions to the household. One study found that the market value of a dad's contribution to the household stands at about $20,415.

Interesting food for thought.
