Do boys really cost more than the girls?

Answer 1

Families tend to spend more money on girls than boys. Probably the necessary expenses are no higher or not much higher. In one town a used clothing drive received a few thousand unworn girls dresses. The girls had received far more clothing than they could possibly wear and had outgrown much of it before they could wear it. The clothing drive did not receive a single usable item of boys' clothing. All the boys clothing was well worn. Others who have run such clothing drives reported similar results.

Girls and boys probably need items of about the same value to survive in life. More money is spent on girls at least in the United States.
