I am planning to revising the article. Family economics is a subject that has been developed in last few decades and there are many resources that could be used to develop the article. Currently the article is pretty much like an outline of a more developed encyclopedia article. I think the subjects that are stated in the article can be a starting point from which further development. I am planning to put the marriage, or formation of family, division of labor within the family and history of family as three possible sections that could be added to the article. I would really appreciate any general ideas on the contribution i am planning to make. One subject where I am not certain is the children. I think I may add another section on the role of children in the family, or I can cover the role of children within the family family in other sections. Also I think I might add how economics of family is related to macroeconomic policies, like welfare programs, or social movements like feminism, or socialism. However I think I might overextend the article by doing then. If you have any advice on these particular subjects where i have confusion, I would like to hear that.

Welcome, KC. I've replaced the heading above with something more descriptive of what you discuss above. Your proposal sounds eminently reasonable.
To generalize a little on the above, ways of improving the article might include expanding the bulleted topics in the text using the footnoted or related sources to develop into a paragraph or using such general references in the text as now gathered in the last footnotes 15 & 3:
• Theodore C. Bergstrom, 1996. "Economics in a Family Way," Journal of Economic Literature, 34(4), pp. 1903-1934. • _____, 1997. "A Survey of Theories of the Family," ch. 2 in Handbook of Population and Family Economics, M. R. Rosenzweig and O. Stark, ed., v. 1A, pp. 21-75.
might also be used as a basis of organizing paragraphs or sections, such as, particularly from more apparently general sources and at the beginning or end thereof. Anyone who reads good sources closely may be in a good position to improve this article. Best wishes. --Thomasmeeks (talk) 21:18, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have made my contributions, however I could not transform my own notes into the type of notes written by the initial author so I left it as it is. I suggest to the people who want further improve the article to focus on distribution of wealth within the family and the role of children within the family, both with respect to reproduction, human capital formation, the labor the children contribute and the wealth they get out of distribution. 155.97.18.137 (talk) 17:58, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
