Document Summary
Nuclear family: a cohabiting man and woman who maintain a socially approved sexual relationship and have at least one child. Traditional nuclear family: a nuclear family in which the husband works outside the home for money and the wife works without pay in the home. Marriage rates decline, while cohabitation rates rise. More women are having children in their 30s. The number of children per family has dropped below the replacement rate. Children leaving home at a later age. Polygamy: expansion of the nuclear family horizontally by adding one or more spouses (usually women) to the household. Extended family: expansion of the nuclear family vertically by adding another generation (one or more of the spouses" parents) to the household. Marriage: a socially approved, presumably long-term sexual and economic union between a man and a woman, which involves reciprocal rights and obligations between spouses and between parents and children.
