Conclusion

This study filled the gap where there were not any studies on this issue involving KIMEP university students. A survey was conducted online by sending a message to students with a link to the survey. On this point there were great advantage of sites: vk.com and surveymonkey.com. The results showed that in decision making process parents are alternate in different issues differently. Men dominate in financial matters; women dominate in child upbringing and housekeeping. In another word, we can say that they are equal on many issues.

The results showed KIMEP student’s dominant family structure: modern family with dual-workers parents: father controls earning. According to review paper and primary research results time affected not only governments’ structure and workplace, but also it affected family structure.

There was not enough time to find out real proper kind of KIMEP U students’ modern family structure. The one thing that should be taken into account is that it is not possible to properly formulate what respondents meant by their answers. May be, the interview should have been taken to make everything clear. It was planned at the beginning, but it is time consuming. In addition, the sample population was not in the same proportion with the whole sample. For further research these limitations should be noticed and considered.
