Resumen

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar cómo inciden las variables socio-demográficas en los valores familiares y laborales entre los jóvenes de 18 a 35 años en Alemania, Noruega y España, países con diferentes modelos familiares, Estados de bienestar y roles de género. El artículo trata, por tanto, de cubrir el vacío existente en la literatura sobre los valores familiares y de género entre los jóvenes, tratando de ir más allá de la perspectiva dualista existente en estos estudios. El análisis está basado en los datos procedentes de la Encuesta Social Europea correspondiente a 2010, la cual contiene preguntas relativas a los valores familiares y la conciliación laboral y familiar. Se ha aplicado un análisis de regresión logística para estimar el efecto de variables socio-demográficas como el género, la educación o la situación laboral en los valores familiares de los jóvenes desde una perspectiva comparada. Los resultados evidencian que los valores familiares tradicionales están más enraizados entre los jóvenes en los países del sur de Europa que en el norte de Europa. También se ha observado un efecto significativo de la educación en aquellos países donde la familia tradicional está más arraigada, mientras que el desempleo tiene un efecto inverso en los valores tradicionales. Estos hallazgos aportan progresos innovadores a los estudios de juventud y familia desde una perspectiva comparada, además de ser útiles para orientar el diseño de políticas familiares destinadas a favorecer la transición actitudinal hacia modelos de familia igualitarios con potenciales efectos positivos en la fecundidad y la igualdad de género.
