Millennials say the Modern Family is Changing Dramatically
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 06, 2017 -- The face of today’s family has changed significantly during the past two generations. According to OECD research, all populations are ageing, there are more women at work, and less people are getting married while more people are getting divorced. More couples are waiting until later to start families and more children are being born to unmarried parents.
C.M. Rubin (Founder of CMRubinWorld) asked millennials around the world to share their perspectives on the institution of the modern family and how they see “normal” in a 21st Century world.
“As globalization has shifted our economy and as the ability for one breadwinner to support a family fades, we are witnessing a shift in what is deemed culturally acceptable,” writes Jacob Deleon Navarrete. He also notes, “We are beginning to welcome a buffet of relationships and contexts to promote an adaptive, flexible, modern economic family unit. This modern family unit fits the modern economic imperative: it is changeable, personal, and user-friendly. This modern family reflects the people it comprises and should be understood and celebrated as such.” “I hope that times keep changing, where no one is more “normal” than anyone else. We are all individuals; all unique; all inspirational; all making a difference, big or small, in our own ways,” says Isadora Baum. “Change has almost always come from a challenging of the normative, not compliance with it,” states Harmony Siganporia. “Ultimately a normal family should be a loving family.” explains Wilson Carter III.
