hat_kinder is described as "Has kids (incl. not in hh)" and is currently used for the calculation of contributions to Pflegeversicherung and for Erziehungsgeld.
For Pflegeversicherung, we should improve the description to make sure it includes adult children and even deceased children (source.
For Erziehungsgeld, the use of hat_kinder seems incorrect. Probably rather check not kind or directly relate child-level benefits to parents.
I was also wondering whether we can remove hat_kinder as input variable and make use of p_id_elternteil_. However, that would require to have children in other households and even deceased children in the input data set. Shouldn't go this route in the short-term.
