Family Diversity

The video explores the evolution of family structures from the mid-20th century to today. It highlights the traditional nuclear family model, where marriage was the norm and gender roles were clearly defined. Over the decades, societal views have shifted, with marriage becoming optional, cohabitation and single living increasing, and birth rates declining. The concept of family has diversified, including cohabiting, reconstituted, lone parent, and same-sex families. The video concludes by questioning how these changes can be explained sociologically.
