Answer 1

The social factors affect our family life include its structure which is different from what it was in the times of our grandparents. Social transformation by industrialization, urbanization, educational expansion demographic change, and monetization has altogether changed the structure of family relationships in many important ways. New patterns of marriages emerged superseding arranged marriages. Premarital pregnancy, single parenthood, divorce, and remarriage have gained ground in most countries, especially in the Western World (Beck & Beck-Gernsheim, 2004).
