Types of Families
A family is a group of people that have a common ancestor. They usually live together in the same house. Although it
is a fact that not all families are the same, they can be categorized into different types.
A nuclear family consists of parents and their children living together. In many countries in Europe and North
American this is the most common form of family. There are three types of nuclear families. In the first type the father
works and the mother cares for the children. In the second type, the mother works and the father says at home with the
children. In the third type of family, both parents work. This last type of family is the most common in the USA and
Canada.
In an extended family, different family members such as grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins live together. In
many areas of the world, such as Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Southern Europe, this type of
family is common.
Recently in some countries, couples are choosing to have only one child. These types of families are called single child
families. Some people believe that children raised in these kinds of families are spoilt, selfish and lonely. But research
doesn’t support this.
Some families have no children at all. The couples that make up these families sometimes make the choice not to have
children because they want to have more free time. Some couples choose not to have children for financial reasons.
Families with only one parent are called single parent families. There are several causes of these types of families. The
first reason is divorce. Another reason is that the one of the parent dies, leaving the surviving parent widowed.
Additionally, some parents never get married in the first place.
When the husband or wife in a marriage brings children with them from a past marriage, this is called a blended or
reconstituted family. This type of family has become more common due to the increase in divorces. For some children
this kind of family can be good because there are two parents, instead of just one. But there can also be some
difficulties as the two new families try to become one.
As the basis of all societies, families of all types are very important. This is true now and will be true in the future as
well.
