Helicopter parents in the USA, authoritarian parents in China and anti authoritarian education in Sweden – are the different parenting styles simply an expression of national cultural norms and traditions? Or rather are they economics incentives and constraints, paired with economically framework conditions, that form the parenting practices in different countries and that shape our imagination what is good parenthood? Will the growing inequality lead to “Parenting Gap” between wealthier and poorer families?

In this lecture Matthias Doepke presents a new approach to declare educations and parenthood from an economic perspective.
