In the single- parent family, for example, a mother or a father heads the family alone A blended family is formed when a divorced or widowed parent remarries As divorce rates have risen, the number of single- parent and blended families has increased In many parts of the world, parents and children live together with other family members under the same roof These complex families usually contain several generations of family members, including grandparents, parents and children They may also include brothers or sisters and their families, uncles, aunts and cousins Even when relatives not live together, they still consider themselves members of the same extended family In Latin American and Hispanic American cultures, the extended family includes grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins The

children living under the same roof As the American economy had progressed from agricultural to industrial one, people were forced to move to different parts of the country to get good jobs These jobs were mainly in the large cities Now, in fact, three-quarters of Americans live in urban areas which occupy 2,5% of the national total land mass Of the 118 million in the labour force, only million still work on the farm Complied by Mrs Thuy Phuong Since moving for better jobs has often divided the extended family, the nuclear family became more popular At present, 55% of the families in the US are nuclear families But besides the two types of traditional family groupings, the family is now being expanded to include a variety of other living arrangements because of divorce There is an increase in single-parent families, in which a father or mother live with one or more children Divorce has also led to blended families, which occur when previously married men and women marry again and combine the children from former marriage into a new family There are also some couples who not want to have children to form two-person childless families 21 A nuclear family is one that _ A
