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 behaviours. 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.
