| dc.description.abstract | This article asks whether attitudes towards the moral obligation to care for parents is a gender issue that is generalisable to all European countries, or whether different models of the welfare state and provision of assistance to older people are factors that modify the views of informal carers. To this end, the article analyses the European Values Study as applied to five countries which, according to previous correspondence, represent different cultural models: Norway, Germany, Russia, Italy and Spain. The article provides an analysis of each of these countries in order to identify the impact of sociodemographic variables (sex and living together with parents), as well as a comparative analysis aimed at identifying differences and similarities among different models of welfare (Scandinavian, former communist, Central European and familialist). The aim is to determine whether the associated factors have an individual character, with a strong gender impact, or rather a cultural character, with the welfare model providing a strong associated impact. The analysis reveals that in the case of opinions gathered in different European countries, the model of welfare appears as the most influential associated factor. Similarly, it can be said that despite the existence of strongly familialist welfare models in southern Europe, Spain moves towards a greater resemblance to central European countries on this issue. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | Este artículo se pregunta si las actitudes hacia la obligación moral de cuidar a los progenitores es una cuestión de género generalizable a todos los países europeos, o si los distintos modelos de estado de bienestar y de prestación de asistencia a las personas mayores son factores que modifican las opiniones de las personas cuidadoras informales. Para ello, el artículo analiza la Encuesta Europea de Valores aplicada a cinco países que, según previas correspondencias, representan modelos culturales diferentes: Noruega, Alemania, Rusia, Italia y España. El artículo ofrece un análisis de cada uno de estos países con el fin de identificar el impacto de las variables sociodemográficas (sexo y convivencia con los progenitores) y de realizar un análisis comparativo dirigido a identificar las diferencias y similitudes entre los distintos modelos de bienestar (escandinavo, excomunista, centroeuropeo y familista). El objetivo es determinar si los factores asociados tienen un carácter individual, con un fuerte impacto de género; o más bien un carácter cultural, asociado al modelo de bienestar. El análisis revela que, en el caso de las opiniones recogidas en diferentes países europeos, el modelo de bienestar aparece como el factor asociado más influyente. Del mismo modo, se puede afirmar que, a pesar de la existencia de modelos de bienestar fuertemente familistas en el sur de Europa, España avanza en esta cuestión hacia una mayor semejanza con los países centroeuropeos. | es |
