Nowadays, the composition of the family is different from what it used to be.

Also

this

change includes family responsibility.

This

essay will discuss the changes that are happening, while making a case that these changes are advantageous.

are jointly shared

was not the case many years back, as

this

almost non existent. Case in point, the ministry of woman affairs in Nigeria conducted a survey and revealed that 80% of married women have their own career, as against 25% 10years ago. In my opinion, I believe these changes are positive because, financially, more money is brought into the

home

and

this

will relieve the husband of some monetary problems.

For instance

, the bills in the

home

can

task for the woman. I believe the financial reward outweighs

this

set back. In conclusion, family arrangement and responsibilities have changed over the years owing to the fact that most women have full time employment and contributes financially to the

home

. It is

also

evident that these changes are advantageous.
