Joint family is a type of extended family, which consists of parents, their children, spouses of the children and their offspring in one household. The Father was considered as the head of the family who lives with his wife, children, brothers and many more other people. All the responsibility of taking care of everyone was not just on any one person but was on each and every single individual. However, with the passing time, the joint family system has deteriorated which has given rise to the nuclear family system. 
 
A nuclear family is composed of parents and their children. The main cause behind the deterioration of joint family is due to lack of opportunities and an increase in the towns and cities. People started migrating to cities living their roots behind in search of jobs. 

As you all know that a coin has two sides likewise both these types of the family has their own pros and cons. Let us see what are they.

Advantages of Joint Family

  • A person learns the importance of adjustment from childhood.
  • He becomes more patient as he will tackle different people with completely different nature.
  • People who are raised in joint families, easily mix with other people which helps them to socialize easily.
  • People in joint families get the support of full family in their bad days be it financially or emotionally.
  • There will be no lack of friends, because of cousins in the home itself.

Disadvantages of Joint Family

  • When many people live together in the same house there are high chances of conflicts regarding household work, finance etc.
  • There will be very less privacy for everyone.
  • While taking any important decision it will be difficult to convince everyone.
  • Living in joint families many a times can seize you of taking the right decision for your child as everyone around you will keep on saying what to do and what not.

Advantages of Nuclear Family

  • Adults in nuclear families will learn to be independent and take responsibilities on their own to support the family.
  • The kids will learn from their parents since childhood how to manage on their own which will help them to sustain when they will migrate to a new place to live on their own.
  • Parents can save money for the future of their kids as they will have fewer expenses.
  • Everyone will have their own privacy.
  • There will not be many conflicts compared to the joint family as the number of people will be few here.
  • As the number of people is few it will be easy to convince everyone in times for taking important decisions

Disadvantages of Nuclear Family

  • Many times it is difficult to manage kids because both the parents are working.
  • Since the children have to live away from their parents they may become isolated from their family.
  • Since both the parents are working, the kids do not have any guidance which may lead children to get attracted towards some bad habits and friends as well.
  • Children may follow the same trend and may leave their parents once they start earning causing loneliness to them too.
