Family model and family-gender roles in the assessments of modern youth

Abstract

Modern trends in changing the marriage and family attitudes of  modern youth are characterized by the transformation of gender roles. Based on  a questionnaire survey of modern youth, social attitudes of young people were  obtained regarding the gender distribution of roles in the sphere of decision-making, financial security of the family, parenthood, organization of everyday  life and a favorable climate in the family, as well as the assessment of these areas  in the parental family. Data indicate an egalitarianization of the family model,  but in relation to the sphere of family provision, this trend is less pronounced.  Young people more often name love as the reasons for starting a family, followed  by socio-psychological comfort and having children.
