An international and historical look at how parenting choices change in the face of economic inequality
Parents everywhere want their children to be happy and do well. Yet how parents seek to achieve this ambition varies enormously. For instance, American and Chinese parents are increasingly authoritative and authoritarian, whereas Scandinavian parents tend to be more permissive. Why? Love, Money, and Parenting investigates how economic forces and growing inequality shape how parents raise their children. From medieval times to the present, and from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Sweden to China and Japan, Matthias Doepke and Fabrizio Zilibotti look at how economic incentives and constraints--such as money, knowledge, and time--influence parenting practices and what is considered good parenting in different countries.
Through personal anecdotes and original research, Doepke and Zilibotti show that in countries with increasing economic inequality, such as the United States, parents push harder to ensure their children have a path to security and success. Economics has transformed the hands-off parenting of the 1960s and '70s into a frantic, overscheduled activity. Growing inequality has also resulted in an increasing "parenting gap" between richer and poorer families, raising the disturbing prospect of diminished social mobility and fewer opportunities for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. In nations with less economic inequality, such as Sweden, the stakes are less high, and social mobility is not under threat. Doepke and Zilibotti discuss how investments in early childhood development and the design of education systems factor into the parenting equation, and how economics can help shape policies that will contribute to the ideal of equal opportunity for all.
Love, Money, and Parenting presents an engrossing look at the economics of the family in the modern world.
##現在養育孩子的主力軍基本是80、90後瞭,在我們育兒的過程中聽到最多的話就是父輩說:“我們以前養你們的時候怎麼怎麼樣,你們現在不也挺好的嘛,哪有那麼多事。”其實他們之所以會這樣說正是由於他們不知道育兒方式取決於現在生活的經濟社會環境,而非小時候接觸的育兒文化及...
評分隨便看看吧。主要就是說,由於各國的經濟政策這些年的變化,以及貧富差距加大,世界範圍內,傢長管的都越來越加強孩子的教育。intensive和permissive parenting各有利弊,每傢對hardworking,independence,creativity的看重程度不同而已哈。 看完後個人認為既然孩子在中國,還是蘿蔔加大棒都要有,模仿瑞典芬蘭的permissive parenting不具備人傢的社會背景,tiger mom式教育挺符閤我國國情的。
