Or a big branching family tree in the villages, with several generations living under one roof, as TV serials and Barjatyas show it?
Turns out, neither assumption is right. Recently released government data reveals that even as families are increasingly fragmenting in rural areas, more people in cities are choosing to live in extended families.Between 2001 and 2011, joint families in urban India grew 29%, whereas in rural areas they rose only 2%.
Then there are the hybrid models -sub-nuclear units when one spouse passes or when siblings live together, or supplemented nuclear, as when an unmarried relative adds to a nuclear unit. Because of migration, support needs for the elderly and for children, and the need to share resources, urban families are stretching, joining and evolving.
