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.
从这本书,能看到父母为什么这样养育我,也会思考我以后要如何对待自己的孩子。如果把孩子当成一场投资,其实是不会在金钱上有正比回报的,归根结底还是因为父母子女之间的感情。也不是只有某一对父母这样育儿,而是整个社会,国家乃至全球的父母都在这样育儿。这本书告诉读者...
评分“妈妈就像直升机一样盘旋在我的头顶……我也只有在打喷嚏时才可以不打报告……”西方畅销育儿指南中的名言,如今也成为了不少中国孩子的心声。婴儿床、学区房、升级考、兴趣班……伴随着这场从出生就开始的育儿竞赛,“虎妈猫爸”也越来越流行。是什么造成了“虎妈”、“直升...
评分本文首发于:微信公众号「普林斯顿读书汇」(PrincetonUP_CHINA) 你的育儿理念是什么样的? 在孩子出生后,你是愿意暂时放缓事业的追求,花上更多时间、甚至是全身心的陪伴孩子,还是安心的将孩子丢给保姆,继续自己在江湖上的传说? 你对学前教育的态度如何?是相信“玩水玩沙...
评分对于身边有娃人士出现的育儿恐慌感到好奇便看了这本书。 1. 对于中国来说,底层孩子如果要上升到中产通过残酷考试基本上是唯一道路了。但是中产也秒秒钟可以被打回底层(疾病、理财不慎等)。考到好的大学基本上是有了一个小小的保障,至少学历高点的话,出路比较多哪怕摔跟斗了...
评分不管什么教育模式,都是历史、文化、社会、经济环境和政府政策共同影响的产物,所以也就没有非此即彼,也没有对错可言,只是应用程度的问题。个人觉得要想实行完全放任自由的教育理念,至少得有资金获取最好的教育资源,能提供一个良好的环境,才能完全放任小孩自我习得和成长。(第一次完整听完一本audiobook,发现听书还挺有效率的呀~)
评分喜欢这本书。经济学家的背景婉婉道来美国,欧洲(北欧,西班牙,法国,意大利)和东亚(日本,中国)不同的社会环境造成了不同的父母(专制型,说教型和随波逐流型)。里面还有大量的数据实证分析。准备买一本收藏之。
评分经济学是一门解释人类行为的科学。育儿则是非常典型的一种人类行为,因此毫无疑问的,本书利用大量的数据和对比分析阐述了经济状况的变化对人们育儿的直接影响。最核心的观点是,收入平等差距越大的国家,父母们越倾向于采用专断或者权威型的育儿方式,相反越是收入差距不大的地方——最典型是北欧国家,父母往往喜欢采取“放养型”的育儿策略。这一点非常容易理解,但更重要的是作者用数据说明了这个因素是影响父母育儿策略最重要的因素。本书给读者带来的另外一个重大意义是反思自己采取的育儿策略,在多大程度上收到了经济层面不平等程度的影响,而当前采取的育儿策略对孩子而非家长而言,是否是最优的选择? 另外赞一下本书的写作风格,基本没有偏词怪词,行文极其流畅,实乃英语听力输入的绝佳选择。
评分学霸爹的育儿研究报告,蛮值得一读。
评分刚读到第一章,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
