What is the role of family today?

Answer 1

Family is as important today as it ever was. While in the past many extended family units lived in close proximity, that is becoming less likely as young families may need to move to where the opportunities are. Greater health care, and awareness of health issues, are expanding the lives of many. As a result, there is a chance several generations of a family are still living. Since people are remaining healthy into old age, a lot of older people are keeping their independence and choosing to continue to live alone, whereas in the past, many of the elderly had to accept the possibility of giving up independent living.
