Family Problems
The family is the most basic and ancient of all institutions, and it remains 
the fundamental social unit in every society. Yet there are many people today who 
predict the end of the family system as we know it. The family, it is contended, is 
breaking down, the victim of moral decay, sexual permissiveness, changing gender 
roles, or irresistible social forces.  Such predictions are heard in all industrialized 
societies, but the statistics suggest that the family system of the world’s leading 
postindustrial society, the United States, is under the most pressure. The great 
majority of both American men and women begin sexual activity before marriage. 
One in every five American births is to an unmarried mother, usually a teenager. 
One in every four pregnancies ends in abortion. The number of unmarried couples 
living together has tripled in less than two decades. Americans are staying single 
longer than ever and more than one adult in five now lives alone. About half 
of American marriages are expected to end in divorce. New alternatives to 
traditional marriage, such as the single-parent household, are becoming steadily 
more common.
What exactly is a family? Our ideas on the subject may tend to be 

ethnocentric, for they are often based on the middle-class “ideal” family so 
relentlessly portrayed in TV commercials, one that consists of a husband, a wife, 
and their dependent children. This particular family pattern, however, is far from 
typical. A more accurate conception of the family must take account of the many 
different family forms that have existed or still exist both in America and in other 
cultures. 
What characteristics, then, are common to all family forms? First, the family 
consists of a group of people who are in some way related to one another. Second, 
its members live together for long periods. Third, the adults in the group assume 
responsibility for any offspring. And forth, the members of the family form an 
economic unit – often for producing goods and services (as when all members 
share agricultural tasks) and always for consuming goods and services (such as 
food or housing). We may say, then, that the family is a relatively permanent 
group of people related by ancestry, marriage, or adoption, who live together, 
form an economic unit, and take care of their young. If this definition seems a 
little cumbersome, it is only because it has to include such a great variety of 
family forms.

What is a typical Canadian family? 
− 
Normally a Canadian family has typically two parents and mostly two 
− 
children, but, of course, there are always variations, and it's not better 
to have one type of family or the other. Sometimes there could be one 
parent, sometimes children don’t have to live with their parents.
