This book is about social change in the Soviet Union. It explores
the way in which the social, economic, and political
transformations encompassed by modernization affect values and
behaviors. Its analytical focus is the family and the system of
norms and values governing sex roles and familial relations. The
study is part of a larger effort to unravel the complex linkages
between modernization, value change, demographic change, and public
policy. It has two related objectives. First, it explores the
relationship between value change and fertility, using statistical
material from the Soviet census, birth registry, and social
surveys, to test specific hypotheses relating to the
modernization/value change relationship. Second, it examines the
impact of public policies, both intended and unintended, on family
values and fertility trends. A model of Soviet fertility dynamics,
based on the empirical findings of the study, is also presented.
