How has the size of the family changed in the last few decades in your country?
Answers
Answer:
The size of the families has decreased remarkably in the last two decades due to awareness given by the NGOs and government institutes.
People have realized that they can't provide good food and education to a large family so it's better to keep the families small.
Unlike the past when people used to produce 810 children, people nowadays have contracted their families to a maximum of 4 members.
Explanation:
Earlier the size of the family was large. When we say family, it starts with great grandparents, grandparents, parents and their siblings, ourselves and our siblings. Family meant not less than fifteen to twenty people lived under one roof and they were always available for each other, they played, ate and slept together.
They had love and compassion towards each one in the family and they were equal with no hatred but only amicability.
But today it has become a nuclear family each family consisting of just the parents and their children.
No grandparents or cousins. The family has shrunk.
Further, the family has just either one son and daughter or just a single child. This is the size of the nuclear family.
