Indian family systems, collectivistic society and psychotherapy - PMC
(Taylor & Francis): This 2024 study uses three decades of National Family Health Survey (NFHS) data to analyze the evolution of family structures . It highlights the shift from lineal ties to conjugal ties and the rise of nuclear families in urban areas.
: Urban families are increasingly relying on domestic help and childcare centers , whereas rural life often remains centered on shared agricultural business and strong kinship ties.
: There is a documented increase in female-headed households , with over 20% of women now more educated than their husbands, leading to shifting power dynamics within families.
Several helpful papers and resources explore the dynamics of Indian family lifestyles, ranging from traditional structures to modern shifts influenced by globalization.
