Value of Children

Value of Children

Der Begriff Kindeswert bzw. ursprünglich engl. value of children bezeichnet eine Variable in der Kulturvergleichenden Psychologie und Soziologie. Sie bezeichnet den Wert von Kindern für ihre Eltern.

Nach der Theorie sozialer Produktionsfunktionen sind Kinder Zwischengüter zur Erreichung elterlicher Grundbedürfnisses nach physischen und psychischem Wohlbefinden. Demnach spielt der Wert von Kindern bei Familienplanung und bei Generationenbeziehungen eine entscheidende Rolle, insbesondere im Hinblick auf interkulturelle Unterschiede.[1]
