    In general, family is a group of people that stay together, relate to each other and stand for each other. Major function of a family is to take care of well being of their members and of the society. Ideally, one of the primary functions of family is to maintain production and reproduction biologically and socially. Families are broadly classified into two types-

    · Nuclear family

    · Joint family

    Difference between nuclear and joint family is just not limited to difference in number of members, there is more to it. Here is a brief explanation to the above-mentioned types of family.

    Nuclear family

    Such a family, generally comprises of mother, father and their children. Nuclear families are also known as conjugal or elementary families. In this type of family, the flow of income is relatively lower as there is usually just a single earner in the house. Emotions shared between members in such household is quite straightforward and direct. There is more scope of freedom and privacy and less expenses. While there are perks to it, there are some disadvantages too. Members in such families don’t tend to socialize with distant relatives often, and all the members are quite like-minded, meaning no scope in having broad perspective, as all the members think on the same lines.

    Joint family

    Such a family, generally comprise of relatives such as aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc. Joint families are also known as extended families. Such families, generally earn more economically, as there are multiple earners in the house. Emotions shared between members of this household is more extended, every member has his/her special bond and closeness with other. Major advantage of joint family is consistent income, fallback place, constant and more support and moreover, the kids grow up with more learned. However there are few disadvantages like less privacy, less freedom, less space, tendency of jealousy and quarrel and also more expenses.

    Which type of family is best depends on the nature of its members and the perspective towards family.

    I hope this answer helps!😊

    In today’s modern world, the nuclear family is being promoted the most. The wish of joint family has been decreased and valued very less in today’s time. Earlier, everybody used to live in the joint families but now everyone wants their personal space, that is the reason why this generation has been mostly influenced to move on at other place to live after marriage. They want themselves as the couple and their children and noone else with them. The love and bonding between brothers and every families seems to be conceived very less in today’s time.

    If we live in a nuclear family , and some problem arises maybe it can be a medical problem or some accident occurs in a house, then the couple is forced to think whom to call and what to do because they need a helping hand at that time and their they live alone. Whereas living in a joint family, whenever you need anyone, the whole family will come and share your problem without any saying.

    While being in a nuclear family, mostly the men and women are working. They keep servant for a child and we all know that a servant will work for money, they can just take care of but the good habits, manners and etiquettes is being taught by the family. If one lives in a joint family, there is no need to worry because you believe your family us with a child and you can go anywhere without any worries. The love and care of grandparents for children is also required the most.

    Living in a joint family, the child learns to live together, respect everyone and every time they are surrounded by people with whom they can talk laugh share their joys and sorrows but in the nuclear family you will feel bored because not everyone can live in such a silent place.

    Living in joint family teaches to respect your youngers and elders and live together in peace and harmony which is needed to live a fruitful life. Henceforth, we should promote living in joint family.

    The joint family structure, like every other social arrangement, has pros and cons. Many people, however, emphasized the value of a combined family. Even in this era of nuclear families, the joint family system still exists and is significant.

    A child raised in a joint family knows to live collectively, appreciate others, and is always surrounded by people with whom they can communicate, play, and exchange their thoughts and experiences, whereas a child raised in a nuclear family would become lonely not all of us can live in such a quiet environment. Kids who grow up with cousins, uncles, aunts, and grandparents have the chance to establish close ties with all of them. Especially the link that practically every youngster has with their grandparents. This is one of the most important qualities of a combined home.

    Living in a joint family encourages you to respect your elders and younger siblings, as well as to coexist peacefully with one another, which is essential for a happy existence. We should encourage families to live together in the future.A large family functions as a cohesive unit, especially when it comes to household tasks such as cooking and cleaning. Family members get together to guarantee that duties are completed on time, if not ahead of schedule. In a nutshell, no one in the family experiences work-related stress.

    For monthly bills, all working family members donate to the household fund. As a safety net, this mechanism is also in place. When a member loses a job or loses his or her employment, others band together to guarantee that his or her basic necessities are met.There really is no concept of privacy in a joint family, and it is hard to manage a private existence without the engagement of someone else.

    Residing in a joint family can be absolutely exhausting since there are more opportunities for family members to get embroiled in pointless conflicts based on misunderstandings and rivalry.

    In simple words, a nuclear family consists of a father, mother, and their children. A nuclear family is also a self-contained unit, free of the influence of relatives and elders. There is a deterioration in the relationship between family members.Disputes are unavoidable in any household or residence; they are an inevitable part of life. But nevertheless, because the proportion of people in a nuclear family is smaller than in a joint family, there is a chance of fewer conflicts.Because there are fewer people in a nuclear family, expenses may be lower.In contrast to a joint family, there is no sharing of duty in a nuclear family.Parents must bear responsibility of their children on the whole.The family’s head of household must work hard in order to provide for his family. The importance of peace and wealth in a happy family relationship cannot be overstated.Misunderstandings are guaranteed to occur in every family; but, because the number of individuals in a nuclear family is smaller, there is a chance that misunderstandings will be reduced. Women also have time to organise and manage their homes and follow their own methods and will according to their own ideas. There is no fear of interference from the relatives or elders.

    But there are many disadvantages also.Since they reside apart, the ancestral assets are distributed among the children, resulting in financial losses. Because both the husband and the wife work, the children often feel abandoned and crave for emotional assistance .They may feel emotionally lonely and anxious.Working parents may be too busy in their hectic schedule to spend enough time with their children, resulting in youngsters following the incorrect direction.Individuals who do not have the opportunity to engage with other family members often tend to become socially awkward and cut off. One of the major drawbacks of the nuclear family is the feeling of being alone.
