Unpaid household production in the UK, 1995-2000
Article looking at the changes in the value and volumes of unpaid household production between 1995 and 2000.
This article on the Household Satellite Account (HHSA) first considers unpaid household production at current prices and in volume terms. The availability of volume information has facilitated the production of a chain-linked volume index of unpaid household production.
Secondly, we look at changes in the four largest accounts and compare them against equivalents in the paid economy. Finally, we consider the methodology used to compile the childcare and transport accounts. The HHSA work falls outside the scope of the UK National Accounts because the inclusion of all activity which is productive in the economic sense, would swamp the monetary flows, obscuring what is happening in the markets, and reduce the usefulness of National Accounts data for analysis. The HHSA is part of the ONS series of experimental statistics.
