Preferred term

organization of family  

Definition

  • American families have undergone tremendous changes since the 1960s. Recent demographic trends—such as increases in cohabitation, divorce, and women's (especially mothers') labor force participation, and a growing cultural emphasis on self-fulfillment—have combined to create a wide variety of family forms.
