Resumo(s)
Reproductive behavioural patterns are undoubtedly changing with the increasing
popularity of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART). While fulfilling a couple’s wish to
be parents, the social value of ART is not easy to quantify. This work project aims at quantifying
this by measuring the economic value that one person adds to the state, by creating a model that
calculates net transfers with the state throughout the individual’s lifetime. Under average
circumstances, the Net Present Value (NPV) of an ART-conceived individual was calculated
to be € 20,424.96. Different scenarios were tested, and the work component (namely taxes and
pensions) was found to be the most determinant element
