do reconstituted families benefit the economy?

Question

rconstituted families are step families

Answer 1

i not sure there would be much difference in effects on the economy between a "normal" family and a reconstituted family. i think you should put a bit more information in your question to get a more accurate answer sorry

Answer 2

How could they benefit the economy, they are just people who may have been two seperate families getting together to form one. Now if they were all employed anyway then that is no extra advantage. And if they were claiming benefits then one family is likely to loose out when they join the other if a woman is single for whatever reason ie divorced etc then she may have been entitled to various benefits which she would possibly loose when joining a new partner. But then they may be entitled to other benefits in its place.

No benefit to the economy a benefit to themselves because they are probably very happy within their new relationships.

Answer 3

i can see circumstances where it could. consider a woman with a couple of kids and what she can earn will not pay for child care and necessities and then a man with a couple of kids(his wife died) and he is having a problem working and finding time for them. if they combine and the woman cares for all the kids and leaves the man time to work enough to support them nicely this would be beneficial to them and the economy because eventually everyone would wind up on welfare.

Answer 4

Why don't you call them step families then.
