family classified two types

2.The joint or undivided family

immaturechildren which
constitutesa unit apart from
the rest of the community

What is Joint family?

at least belong to three generations,

married as well as unmarried
grandchildren.

Some reason to make a
nuclear family

Industrialization
The Industrial Revolution of the
18th century and the consequent
birth of the factory system of
production affected the economic
functions of the family.

Urbanization
• Industrializationand urbanization very
often go together.Cities are growing in
size and in number. Family is cut to size.
Families are now the smallest,and
home ties are the weakest.

Economic independence
of Women
In recent time, Women are working hospitals,
administrative offices, ministries, etc. The
economic independence has increased her
status, but affected her attitude.

Emancipation of
Women
Women are now liberated from
the chains of traditionalism.
They want live with rights and
dignity. They stand on an equal
footing with men.

Decline in BirthRate
The size of the family is
becoming smaller. Joint family is fairly
uncommon. The birth rate is adversely
affected. Absence of children is a glaring
feature of the Western families.

Democratic Ideals
• Democracy assures equality and provides liberty to all, to
women too! Women now play not only domestic roles but
also economic and political roles. They have now become
property owners and business managers. They have the
voting power and with it, they have entered politics. The
world has already witnessed four women prime ministers.

Parent-Youth Conflict
Inter-personal conflicts in the family are
increasing. An unusual amount of conflicts
between parents and their adolescent
children is taking place. But it would be
more appropriate to say that “It (family) is
merely seeking to adopt itself to changed
conditions”

Decline of
Religious Control
• The modern family is secular in attitude.
The religious rites of the traditional family
such as early prayer, yogaetc. are no
longer performed in modern family.

Divorce
• Today, more stress is laid on romantic love. “Love is
no more sacramental” now. In the West, Love at
first sight and divorce at next is quite common.
Instances of divorce, desertion and separation are
mounting in the West. Marriage has become a civil
contract only.
