Influence of Welfare Regime and Parenting Values on Family Behavior and Education of Children: Cross-Country Analysis

Julia Zelikova’s article has just been published in Russian academic journal!

"Influence of  Welfare Regime and Parenting Values on Family Behavior and Education of Children: Cross-Country Analysis”   by Julia Zelikova, a research fellow at the LCSR, has just been published in Journal of Social Policy Studies.

This article demonstrates the influence of individual values on family values, educational values and family behavior. Individual values are conceptualized through the notion of materialist and post-materialist values developed by Ronald Inglehart. This analysis is based on data from the fifth wave of the World Value Survey. For analysis of cross-countries differences of family values and family behavior the regime of welfare is used.  The sample of countries is divided on four groups: countries with liberal regime of welfare, countries with conservative regime of welfare, countries with social-democratic regime of welfare and post-communist countries. Then the differences in family values of parents between those groups are investigated. The results of research show that process of modernization, which is accompanied by changes in individual’s values leads to changes in family values and family behavior. These changes are characterized by the variety of family forms and bringing up children emancipative values. Regimes of welfare have a strong association with family values and family behavior.
