There are many differences between Indian and  Japanese family structure

Explanation:

  • The definition of family in India spreads above & beyond the traditional nuclear unit to the larger social sphere. Such "broad/multi-generational family"  may also be important for providing a individual with economic protection. These are also a source of jobs in a family farm business or contribute to opportunities in cities in which connections with certain parties are critical for work. The traditional Japanese household fits the pattern of the "nuclear family", however, the broader family is generally held close & often visited. "Paternal grandparents' may/may not grow older with their children, however Japan's limited living areas typically restrict the "multi-generational" household situation.
  • Arranged marriages are traditional in the whole of India, while marital relationships differ in terms of cultural & religious norms & traditions. Marriages are typically arranged by a matchmaker, guardians of the pair or other trustworthy third parties. Consent of parents is a must incase individuals choose their own partner. However, in Japan marriage and choice of partners are an individual choice and you can find western culture pattern. Consent of parents are usually not taken and parents too do not interfere in the choice of partners
  • In India, elders especially grandparents are given the highest respect. Staying with parents/grandparents are considered to be a way of learning for children/grandchildren about traditions, customs, culture, values, etc. The grandchildren always seek the consent and opinion of the grandparents & the grandparents in some decisions concerning grandchildren have a better say then their parents. The rising cost of living and insufficient accommodation renders it nearly difficult to house under one roof  joint family (including grand parents) and hence it is mostly the nuclear family. Modern values that emphasize self-interest & independence  make grand children children less willing to stay with grandparents. The tension between families has continuously escalated & taken the 3-generation family into wedge. There are several isolated elderly who fondly wish close-knit, extended family.
