Abstract
In the study, the values attributed to the child in the family were examined with explanatory spatial data analysis by using Turkish Statistical Institute 2016 Turkish Family Structure Survey. In this context, the information of 12 regions of Turkey was used. The values attributed to the child in the family were classified as economic, psychological and social. The child's financial contribution to the parents in the future and old age security for the parents were taken as economic values. As psychological values, the reputation of women who have children and the way children bring parents closer to each other were used. Finally, the son's continuation of the lineage and the son's increase in the mother's reputation were taken as social values of child. As a result of the global spatial autocorrelation tests, the economic value of the child's financial contribution to the parents in the future was found statistically significant. When the clustered relations were examined using LISA maps, the value of the child through his financial contribution to the parents in the future was found high in the Eastern Black Sea, Northeastern Anatolia, Middle East Anatolia and Southeastern Anatolia regions.
