Assess the view that industrialisation led to the nuclear family replacing the extended family as the main form of household structure.
Some have argued that as industrialisation and modernism proceed, kinship-based society and the classic extended family tend to break up and the nuclear family emerges as the predominant family form.
Talcott Parsons argues that industrialisation has replaced the extended family with the ‘structurally isolated’ nuclear family It is structurally isolated because it does not form an integral part of a wider system of kinship relationships. ... As a result, the extended family and kinship groups no longer can perform a wide range of functions.
