Research has been done on the financial value of a parent based on what it would cost currently to replace the activities they do in raising a family.
Taking into account cooking, cleaning, transport, childcare, etc., it works out as an average of £631 per week for the parent at home and £448 for the parent who is working. Over half of the parents contacted in the survey had no financial protection in place. The cost of taking out simple life assurance is not huge. A woman or man aged 30 can insure themselves for £200,000 for under £10 per month each, or under £15 per month for a joint policy (non-smokers and without major medical complications).
