The aim of this paper is to determine whether there are factors other than income or education that can explain the larger number of children in Spanish Roma families. Our analysis reveals that the existence of a family business, which is highly labor-demanding, appears to be associated with parental decisions concerning the number of children. Since parental authority, in Roma families, holds sway over children even after their own marriage, the future labor contributions of children are particularly beneficial to the family business. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2012-34828 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 1.333 2017 ECONOMICS 139 / 353 = 0.394 2017 Q2 T2 0.897 2017 Social Sciences (miscellaneous) 2017 Q1 Economics and Econometrics 2017 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Andaluz, Joaquín Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0679-6340 Larramona, Gemma Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5858-4975 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
