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.

随便看看吧。主要就是说,由于各国的经济政策这些年的变化,以及贫富差距加大,世界范围内,家长管的都越来越加强孩子的教育。intensive和permissive parenting各有利弊,每家对hardworking,independence,creativity的看重程度不同而已哈。
看完后个人认为既然孩子在中国,还是萝卜加大棒都要有,模仿瑞典芬兰的permissive parenting不具备…

刚读到第一章,特别有启发。推荐所有准备当父母,已经当父母和当过父母的人。这本书同时也加深了我对现在社会中不平等现象的忧虑。读完后再给大家报告。谢谢

非常enlightening , 用经济学角度从纵向(历史)和横向(各国)两个维度分析养育方式背后的经济动力。也有涉及性别,宗教,文化等影响因素。近些年流行向别国养娃,教育方式取经,法国妈妈育儿,芬兰教育等等都很流行,但某国在某个时期的育儿主流方式是从其社会政治文化土壤中长出来的,无法平移,甚至不能简单说更好。只有当孩子,家长,社会的发展方向都往一个方向,才会不拧巴,比如芬兰。而很多国家家长的选择…
