DMPQ- Family as an institution is getting affected by the changes in society. Discuss the changes in the family and the causes of the changes.

Family is a smallest basic social unit which performs various functions like biological, psychological, economical etc. The form and the characteristics of the families are changing.

Changes:

  • Joint family to nuclear family.
  • Concept of single mother, single father.

The reasons for the changes in the family system are

  • In search of Job, members of the family move outside and start to live there and hence family become independent unit.
  • The urge of individualism is against the traditional joint family system.
  • Effect of globalisation, urbanisation has effect on the pattern of family.
  • Now nuclear family are producing less offspring i.e. not more than 2 which is also putting restriction on the size of the family.
  • Effect of Westernisation and modernisations has also affected the family structure.
