What does a typical family look like in France?

Answer 1

French women have an average of 2 children. A typical houselhold would then be along the 2 + 2 structure, parents plus children. Living with extended families (cousins, uncles, grandparents) is rather uncommon. On the other hand, France has a divorce or separation rate comparable to other developed countries, so many children live in single-parent families.

Answer 2

French couples have an average of two kids, so the basic structure of the family would be 2 + 2. Extended families (living with grandparents, cousins, etc...) i not common; as in many developed countries, divorces and separations mean there are many single-parent families too.
