The basic unit of all societies is the family. The modern family is different from the tradition rural family in many ways. For example, the farming family has always provided everything for is members-jobs on the farm, education, and other training. Things are different in the modern family. People work outside the home. Education is provided by state or private schools.
The size of the family has decreased a lot women in traditional families often have many children, because workers they are needed for the farm. In modern families, women have fewer children-usually one, two or three. Many women have jobs, so they have more freedom and equality both within the family and in society as a whole. One thing has not change. The most important function of the family is to love and care for all its members.
