A new survey shows that even when it comes to young children, boys typically get more money than girls from their parents and as gifts. But the survey of around 2,000 children and guardians also found a gap between what boys and girls receive. While preschool aged girls earned €17 a month on average, boys of the same age earned €20 a month - nearly 18 percent more. Within the age group of six- to 13-year-olds, girls earned on average €41 per month, boys earned €44 - 7 percent more. The money the kids earned was used mostly for buying cookies, candy and chewing gum, as well as for magazines, comics and ice cream.
