In recent years, the family structure has changed, as well as family roles. What are the changes occurring? Do you think these changes are positive or negative?

Nowadays, the structure of family households and roles has been changed compared to the previous generations. There are some changes made in today’s households and I believe that

this

trend brings benefits to family members and

society

as a whole. The

first

change is the size of

. These days, most of

are nuclear structures rather extended structures in the past. It means the size of households is

, only two generations live together in a house. The

second

change is the role of breadwinner in families. In the past, those who were considered as breadwinners are men.

However

, these days societies become more equal,

modern women have a lot of opportunities to get a good job with a lucrative income and become the main financial source of

has a job and she is the person managing my family’s finance. These changes mentioned above have a positive impact on family members and

society

as well. The

first

advantage of living in a small sized family is mitigating disputes due to a big gap between generations. The older generations have living viewpoints that are different to our modern generation’s,

therefore

, living in a nuclear household will minimize controversy among members. The

second

benefit is the financial burden is shared equally for both men and women. When women enter in labour workforce,

this

means the families have an additional source of income apart from men’s. The

third

advantage is beneficial for

society

.

This

is because more and more small households are separated from big ones, leading to a high demand

housing.

As a result

, the national economy is stimulated and promoted dramatically. In conclusion, the family structure and the family roles varied significantly in recent years and it has positive effects on every single person and the whole

society
