Children are accorded a symbolic value that helps to configure the social place of women, as well as an affective value as "compañeros" and collaborators of their mothers, and economic value, both in present time, through the Transfer itself, and in the future as assets, insofar as girls early on become auxiliaries of reproductive tasks and boys later as members who bring in secondary income to the household.The social relations that women gain in the spaces of the contraprestacion are also marked by age, and they have an important weight in the exchange of intimacy which are at the center of these groups.But ?caring well? for children is used to establish seniority over other women and to mobilize these moral values in competition for affective and material as well as social resources.The uses of money in care-related expenses has high moral and status consequences.
