A longer life span has led to a shift in demographics, with more older adults and fewer young people, affecting family dynamics.
Lone-parent households
More single-parent households, often due to divorce, separation, or death of a spouse, have become a common family structure.
Gender equality
Greater recognition of women's rights and equal opportunities has led to changes in household responsibilities and earning potential, allowing for more gender equality.
Delayed marriage
More people are delaying or avoiding marriage, opting for cohabitation or non-traditional relationships, and this has led to changes in family patterns.
Urbanization
More people moving to cities has led to changes in family dynamics and social structures, and global connectivity and communication have shaped family values and relationships.
Changing values and attitudes
New values and attitudes towards marriage, relationships, and family have emerged, leading to greater recognition and acceptance of non-traditional family structures such as single parents or same-sex couples.
Globalization
Global connectivity and communication have increased access to global information, people, and ideas, shaping family values and relationships.
