A szülőség támogatásának társadalmi meghatározottsága
Integrált elméleti modell a családi erőforrások, a társadalmi tőke és az intézményi együttműködés összefüggéseiről
Abstract
Supporting parents has increasingly become recognised as a complex social responsibility that extends beyond the traditional focus on developing parenting competences. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that the success of family support can be understood through the interaction of family resources, social capital, resilience, and institutional collaboration.
The paper is a narrative literature review that synthesises classical sociological theories and international research published since 2020 to examine the social determinants of parenting support. The analysis shows that child development is shaped not only by the internal functioning of the family but also by the broader social, economic, and institutional environment. Based on the findings, the paper argues that an effective model of parenting support recognises families as active partners, strengthens community relationships, and promotes collaboration among educational, healthcare, social, and civil society actors. The paper presents an integrated theoretical framework that brings together family resources, social capital, resilience, and institutional collaboration, thereby contributing to the scientific and policy-oriented understanding of parenting support.
