description This thesis examines the impact of earthquakes on parental preferences, labour supply, and neighbourhood security in 90 countries using a Difference-in-Differences (DiD) approach with World Values Survey data from 1995 to 2021. Findings reveal that earthquakes increase the demand for responsible children by 0.011 units, reduce labour supply preferences by 0.025 units, and decrease neighbourhood security by 0.272 units. Key factors include economic uncertainty and law enforcement dynamics. The results emphasize the need for resilience-focused policies in post-disaster recovery to enhance social and economic stability.
