Declining Joint Family Structure

             Since  stone age humans developed the pattern to live in a group of two or three nucleus family where the women used to care for household and the men used to be away in search of food. In a single Nucleus family where two adults live together with their off-springs  it was difficult  for both to remain alone either in the house or away for hunting, this bounded two or three Nucleus families to be together. With the passage of  time when humans developed enough ability to construct a shelter as to house his nucleus family , humans were free from the fear of being alone. By this time the family structure extended to include the three to four generations as grandpa, pa, son and also extended to incl brothers, sisters,uncle,aunties and cousins.since ages the Family system remained so sharing economic,social and other problems in a collective way.
              With the beginning of 18th century the no of births to a single family in US was seven which declined to two in 19th century.With the change in social fiber of US, where marriages diversified from men-women bondage to Gay, Lesbian, Single parent, adoptive parents to divorced ones. This along Women rights which empowered a women to be more effective in the workplace drifting her away from the Nucleus family primary  role were all the reason for the declining family structure in US and the west. Approx 14% men and 16% women live as single in US.
                 Industrialization, Urbanization and rapid economic activities have also shown their impact on family system in Pakistan. 1970 where the avg family consisted of nine members has reduced to six in the recent decade. Family consisted of three to four generation members have declined to two along with the Uncles,Aunties separating very early from the combined extended family system.
