I think it can be both. I came from a nuclear family but my cousins, aunts babysat me. Uncles were vital in my development. I haven't heard that view where its all in my the parents. Maybe Black people have a different version of nuclear idk.
Which stats? The ones in the studies that also highlight that the quality of family relationships and the level of parental involvement matter more than just family structure alone?
out of curiousity how does nuclear families compare to single parent homes of both types in terms of incarceration rates?Cause it's really only been the tradition for cacs
Everybody else has lived successfully within extended families and in multi-generational households/communities
Yet time and time again, the decline of the nuclear family is tied to many of the issues we see on the daily
Crime, LGBT existence, and poverty but the same individuals would likely be under communal living had they been born outside of europe centuries before
So what gives?
The OP mentioned crime, poverty, LGBTQ, etc.
While research shows that children from single-parent households, especially those facing economic hardship, are statistically at a higher risk for incarceration, it's important to remember that family structure is just one factor. Economic stability, access to education, and the quality of parenting and support systems play a much larger role in determining outcomes like incarceration. Children from nuclear, single-parent or other non-traditional homes who grow up in stable, loving environments with strong community support are less likely to engage in criminal behavior. Ultimately, it's not just about whether a family is nuclear or single-parent, but the resources and quality of care that make a significant difference.
I know and what I mentioned has a larger effect on crime and poverty outcomes than family structure alone. Sexual orientation and gender identity are not determined by family structure.
how does that not answer the original question?
