Concept information

Preferred term

family structure and education  

Definition(s)

  • Traditionally, a family is a group of people living together with some shared kinship (such as common ancestors or descendents), marriage, or adoption. However, societies are increasingly accepting variations in which people care for one another, share resources (e.g., food) and divide responsibilities (e.g., household chores) without any kinship ties (e.g., childless and unmarried couples).
