Question

When you lived at home growing up as a child, you may have received a small allowance—a bit of money on a somewhat regular occasion that you could use as you wished. This typically comes from a parent who is also working at a regular job to support the family. What is this, in anthropological terms?

Answer 1

This is known as redistribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

From an anthropological perspective, redistribution refers to the division of goods between the parts of a whole.

This comes from a central source who in turn allots them for the other members.

In this example we can see the parent working the job as the central goods receiver, who in turn redistributes them and gives you a piece, known as an allowance.
