Evolution of family relationship in Kyrgyzstan

Abstract

The relevance of the study is determined by the observed changes in the structure, role models, and functions of the family in Kyrgyzstan over the last decade. Consequently, there is a need to form beliefs and values that may qualitatively differ from previous ones and influence the socialisation of the younger generation in the process of creating new family institutions. The purpose of the study is to clarify the role and conduct a deep analysis of various aspects, such as psychological, biological, religious studies, and others, to identify patterns and problems that people face in marriage, and to provide recommendations for improving individual well-being. Among the methods used, statistical, analytical, comparative, and others are noteworthy. The study on the evolution of family relations, covering various aspects, provides important conclusions about changes in this context. It presents an increase in the diversity of family structures, with some remaining more traditional and others being more adaptive to modern changes. It was found that education and migration play a key role in shaping family relations, influencing partner choices and family decisions. Religious and philosophical beliefs remain important factors shaping family values. The study highlights the impact of biological factors, such as health and genetics, on family decisions, especially in the context of childbirth and child-rearing. All aspects collectively provide a deep understanding of how family relationships evolve in contemporary Kyrgyzstan. The practical value of the study lies in the development of adaptive family policies, educational programs, support for family counselling, and psychological assistance to strengthen families
