Answer 4

In India we have two types of family systems nuclear family and joint family. However, the joint family system was the most common family system until today when there are a lot of nuclear families too. A joint family usually comprise of grand parents and their sons along with their sons’ wives and children. Almost 10-15 members make a joint family which can be even more. The grand father remains the head of the family when alive and after his demise the eldest son takes over the family decisions. The household chores are divided among the wives in the families and sometimes even the daughters give a helping hand to their mothers and aunts. There are lots of advantages and disadvantages of a joint family system and sometimes couples find that they are not able to find enough time for themselves in a joint family. Depending on job opportunities many Indians have opted for nuclear family which consists of a couple and their children. But in the past, only joint families prevailed in India.
