Abstract: This study attempts to examine the unfolding issue of whether and how parental preferences of hard work as the most important quality for their children differ in the rural-urban context of Bangladesh, as this issue is not much clear in the previous literature. The present study analyzed the data from the World Value Survey (WVS), wave-7 (2017-2022) of Bangladesh. Crosstab analysis with a chi-square test was used to clarify whether there is a significant distinction in parental choice among the items of socialization values for their children. Binary logistic regression was performed to determine the effect of parental class background and their residential area on the observed variable (hard work), and finally interaction effects between residential area and parental social class were measured. Results show that parents of rural regions less prefer the “importance of hard work†compared to parents who live in urban regions. Parents with low-level social background status usually prefer hard work for their children more compared to the parents with upper-level social class background status. Finally, according to the interaction effect of the residential region, it was observed that despite having a low level of class background status, parents who live in rural regions usually do not prefer hard work for their children like the parents of urban regions in Bangladesh.
