1. In picture A, we observe a nuclear family that consists of a pair of adults and their children. In picture B, we observe a joint family that consists of a man (the head), his wife, their children, daughters-in-law and their grandchildren.
2. We don’t find many joint families in our society. The joint family system has been breaking up in India as a result of the increasing individualistic and independent attitudes of grown up children. Nuclear families provide more privacy. Today youngsters want financial independence. Hence, the system of joint family has been gradually disappearing.
