There is an increasing trend around the world to have a small family rather than a large family. What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a small family rather than a large family?

A family is made up of

people

who are related to you either by blood, adoption or interest. Having an intimate family is on the rise around the globe compared to owning a large family. Primarily, there are several pros and cons of having a relatively small household. I would prove

this

in

this

essay. Statistics have shown that a small family comprises a father, a mother and a maximum of 3 children.

Firstly

, the provision of daily needs would be easy. It is more convenient to provide basic needs to a small

number

of

people

.

Secondly

, some benefits are limited to a

number

of

people

.

For instance

, health insurance coverage for a family can take a maximum of 5 family members. A household with

this

number

of

people

would have no problem making sure everyone in the house is insured.

Lastly

, interpersonal differences that can bring rise to conflict can be easily curbed when there are fewer persons involved compared to having a large

number

of

people

.

On the other hand

, possessing a small family

also

has its effects.

For example

, Fewer helping hands during chores. When they are quite a

number

of persons in a family, sharing of work to be done in the house is effective, as

this

reduces the workout of every individual compared to when you have less

number

of

people

.

Also

, as the saying goes "the more, the merrier". There tends to be more fun when more

people

are involved in an activity. In conclusion, being able to meet the needs of every family member is an important aspect of effectively running a family. I recommend having a small family size as the advantage outweighs that of a large family size.
