Definition

The child quality-quantity tradeoff is a tradeoff that parents may experience between the quality of each child (in terms of the resources they can invest in the child's eventual quality, or the extent to which they can enjoy consumption benefits from the child) and the quantity of children (i.e., the number of children they have).
