Abstract
Croatian society is passing through a significant transformation producing more intensive social stratification than the one that existed before. So the variable socio-economic status of the individual or the family will consequently be becoming more and more important. It is logical to expect that socio-economic status of an individual or the family is going to have much greater impact on individual’s behavior, family dynamics, family processes and generally, on family as an agent of socialization. At the same time there is no theory or research results explaining the impact of socio-economic status on family processes in Croatian society. The article tries to give a survey of theories and research results with the goal to describe and explain the impact of socio-economic status on family and socialization in international context. The main goal of the article was to hypothesize about the possible new influences socio-economic variables could have on family and individual in Croatian society, and to stimulate new theoretical and research efforts in this socially relevant and important area.
