The article presents information on the position of isolated nuclear families in the American society. A neolocal nuclear family system is one in which nuclear families live by themselves independent from their families of orientation. It is thought that such a family system is particularly well adopted to the needs of the U.S. economy for a fluid and mobile labor market. It is also suggested that differences in occupational status of family members can best be accepted they live some distance from each other. For a married person the extended American family system consist of three interlocking nuclear families including the family of procreation, the family of orientation, and the one of affinal relations. It is said that there is sufficient threat to an already fragile nuclear family structure through sibling rivalry and parent-child differences, and having parents or collateral relatives living in the home or even close by adds additional difficulties to the complicated problem of child rearing. |
