In what ways does change in social structure lead to changes in the family structure?
(I) The changes in social structure certainly lead to the changes in the family structure. The social economic political and cultural changes reflect their impact on family structure.
(II) After independence, the rapid process of industrialisations and urbanisation have changed the structure of the extended families to nuclear families.
(III) The urban atmosphere does not accept the concept of joint families. The constraints of urbanisation are in favour of nuclear families.
(IV) The changes in the family structure may occur accidentally as when a war takes place or people migrate in search of work. Sometimes the changes in the family structure are purposely brought about.
