| Résumé: | To what extent does parenthood influence individuals’ cultural participation? Faced with educational and socialization imperatives, as well as the need for children’s personal development and identity construction, how do parents develop or limit their cultural outings and consumption, whether with their family or without their children? Based on an analysis of Pratiques culturelles 2018 survey, the results presented in this study first aim to compare the behaviours of parents and individuals without cohabiting minor children. The study then delves into parents’ cultural activities – whether undertaken with or without children – according to factors such as children’s age, family structure, parents’ gender, and social background. The study finds that the overall intensity of cultural participation is not affected by the presence of cohabiting minor children. However, parents tend to engage more with certain cultural venues, such as libraries and circuses, as well as specific cultural activities, such as board and video games. Furthermore, significant variations emerge based on children’s age, coupled with gendered parental behaviours: mothers’ investment in children’s cultural socialization begins earlier and continues into adolescence, whereas fathers’ involvement is more concentrated on children aged 6 to 10 years. Finally, although cultural participation remains socially stratified, the gap between upper and working classes appears smaller among parents for certain outings, such as cinema and theatre. Furthermore, cultural outings socialization tends to be less gendered and more egalitarian within the middle class, whereas mothers tend to be more involved than fathers in both working-class and upper-class families. |
