Thousands of hours invested in directly providing care, travel, and other services
Hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in education, food, clothing, etc.
The sacrifice of one parent’s career
Choosing housing locations based primarily on educational and social opportunities for the children, rather than convenience for employment or entertainment
Are these similar to dying for a child? I don’t know. It’s possible that the sum of the financial equivalent of the above is comparable to a statistical life, but I’m just giving rough estimates.
