Short Summary :<\/p>\n

This paper examines the design of optimal family policies when chil\u0002dren have unequal needs (in terms of material goods and parental time), leading to heterogeneous preferences, and have parents with unequal de\u0002grees of altruism. We examine the issue of interpersonal well-being com\u0002parisons between children by means of consumption-equivalent and time\u0002equivalent indexes, and show that the conditions of existence of these equivalents – as well as their rankings across children – di\u00a7er across the metric used. We also examine well-being comparisons across parents who di\u00a7er in their children\u00eds preferences and in their altruism. Then, we de\u0002rive the constrained egalitarian social optimum (where only children\u00eds well-being levels are equalized) and the double egalitarian social optimum (where both children\u00eds and parents\u00edwell-being are equalized). It is shown that the optimal allocation and the optimal family policy vary with the metric used for the measurement of children\u00eds well-being.<\/p>\n
