The family is the basis of the social structure and includes both the nuclear and the extended family, which sometimes provides both a social and a financial support network.
Today, it is less common than previously for family members to work in a family business, as personal preferences are important and university education is general
The structure and the size of the family vary, but generally, people live until longer lives, have fewer children than before, and fewer people live in their homes with extended family.
Familial networks have become less tight. The greatest changes have occurred inside families, between men and woman, and the parents and children because the values that inspire these relations have changed.
