The FamiIv
The  structure of a family takes different forms around the world and even in the  same society.The family’S form changes as it adapts to changing social and  economic influences.Until recently.the most common form in North America was  the nuclear family,consisting of a married couple with  their minor children.The nuclear family is an independent unit.It must be  prepared to fend for itself.Individual family members strongly depend on one  another.There is little help from outside the family in emergencies.Elderly  relatives of a nuclear family are cared for only if it is possible for the  family to do so.In North America,the  elderly often do not live with the family;thev live in retirement communities  and nursing homes.
There  are many parallels between the nuclear family in industrial societies.such as  North America,and of families in societies such  as that of the Inuits,who live in harsh environments.The  nuclear family structure is well adapted to a life of mobility.In harsh  conditions,mobility allows the family to hunt  for food.For North Americans,the  hunt for jobs and improved social status also requires mobility.
The  nuclear family was not always the North American standard. In a more agrarian  time,the mall nuclear family was  usually part of a larger extenged family.This might have included grandparents,mother and father,brothers and sisters,uncles,aunts,and cousins. In North America today,there is a dramatic rise in the number of  single.parent households.Twice as many households in the United States are  headed by divorced,separated,or never。married  individuals as are comprised of nuclear families.The structure of the family,not just in North America,but throughout the world,continues to change as it adapts to changing  conditions.
