As the fundamental community of every society, family is largely influenced by financial and economic politics of the country. It is presumed that economic stability contributes to the development of the family and its functioning, and economic instability has a negative impact on the forming of families, their harmony and emotional stability of each individual. Presumably, there is some interdependence between the economic stability of the parents, the selection of parental style and child satisfaction. The problems of modern families can depend on economic factors associated with the employment of parents. Unwanted unemployment of only one parent is manifested by negative feelings and frustration. More and more parents commute to work to a different city and as a consequence, the structure of the family is being changed, so a family becomes a weekly, monthly or virtual family. Family planning is often associated with employment opportunities, resulting in delayed parenthood – which is one of the problems of modern families. Family is increasingly based on economic ties, not social. These problems are reflected in the modern childhood. Families share responsibility for the education of children with institutions of early and pre-school education which in turn caused "institutional" childhood. Although the modern family usually speaks from the context of the problem that is marked, it is also possible different perspective, which is based on the capabilities that enhance education in the family. The availability of knowledge and information allows parents a new understanding of parenting, which in addition to economic factors can lead to a better environment for the child.
