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.
