Home Family and Home Science – Types, Characteristics, Disadvantages & Advantages of Family

Changing Family Scenario

  • Earlier, industrialization has brought about many changes in the type of family and as a result, in the roles and responsibilities of members of a family. So far, in a tradition family, the sons ‘took on’ the family business or profession. The Father or male members used to earn money and were responsible for the ‘outside’ work. The women looked after home and children.
  • Now boy or girl, are more educated and have greater and better opportunities for jobs. In some cases women have taken up jobs outside the house and have the added responsibility of earning and looking after the home and children.
