THE PLACE OF THE FAMILY IN THE VALUE SYSTEM OF MODERN URBAN YOUTH

Abstract

This article attempts to identify the place of the family in the rating of values of young citizens living in Izhevsk, as well as the socio-demographic characteristics of this group that can influence the construction of this rating. According to a number of researchers, in the modern world there is a "global disintegration" of the traditional system of division of social labor, power relations between men and women, which inevitably leads to the transformation of family relations. The attitude of modern youth towards the institution of the family is formed under the influence of certain factors, such as: recognition of the family in society, the relationship of one's own parents in the family, the individual characteristics of a person, gender, etc. There is a need to study each factor that affects the position of the family in the system of value orientations of young people, which will make it possible to understand the general picture of the ways in which the value orientations of young people are formed. And, therefore, it is necessary to study this aspect of sociology in order to rid society of the existing prejudices and stereotypes associated with the behavioral patterns of men and women. The views on the priorities of society have been changed. Over time, the family ceases to play a dominant role in the life of modern youth. This leads to the problems of frequent divorces, the emergence of negative ideas about family formation, a change in ethical and moral standards. It was important for researchers to find out the reason for the change in the value orientations of modern youth in relation to the family in order to identify the specifics of the worldview of the younger generation, which determines the foundations of family relations. In particular, in the studies conducted in 2021, it was supposed to reveal the conditions for the formation of the family value among today's youth. The results obtained can be useful for specialists working with families, working with youth, and can also help improve the culture of serving representatives of different socio-demographic groups and more thorough planning of their professional activities.
