The Changing Family Pattern
The family pattern has been changing in Great Britain. In the past people
did not tend to move from their birthplace and tended to go into the same sort of
occupation as their parents. They had to look after relatives when they were old
or ill, and they needed relatives themselves who would be nearby to help them
out if they became sick or unemployed. Mothers needed help from their own
mothers or sisters in looking after large families. In a hostile world people felt
safest with their own relatives near them. This large unit of parents, children,
grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins is called the extended family.
Everyone has an extended family, but they may not keep in touch with the
members of it, or may only meet some of its members occasionally. However,
the extended family is still an important feature of life in many long- established
communities. There is a growing tendency, however, for the more usual family
type to consist of just a husband, wife and their own children living together
with no relatives nearby. This family type is called the nuclear family.
The reasons for the gradual disappearance of the extended family as the
operating family unit and its replacement by the nuclear family are:
1. Improved educational opportunities, which mean that new job prospects exist
and these often require a move to a new area.
2. Transport is simple and greater travel opportunities make a move less fright-
ening.
3. New housing estates often attract young families away from traditional areas
4. Improved welfare facilities mean we have to depend less on our relatives.
5. Family planning and some other factors have resulted in smaller, more man-
ageable families.
