New research published on line in Social Science and Medicine and due for publication in the journal later this month examines the contribution of changes in family life to trends in adolescent conduct problems.
The paper shows that:
Families are changing: Families in the UK have changed over the last 50 years– with more single parent , DINK families(Double Income,No Kids) and step families, changes in economic wellbeing, and decreasing family size,not only the raditional extended families(big family)and nuclear families.
But economic wellbeing after the second world war does not fully explain changes in family size: liberation wave, to face pressure of competition in the modern society, including possible changes in family relationships, friendships and peer groups, and other broader social influences,more and more people desire a ease life , a single and independent life , not only to go to work hardly for themselves and their kids' survive or be a heavy Victorian father or mother. Indeed, economic wellbeing is a important factor changed in family size, it made more people have more chances to choose their own life styles.
The changes in family size not only meant the decreasing of borth rates ,death rates is below the birth rates and the trend of aging of population, but also meant the goverment is facing a big society structural problem . The society need to encourage borth and care the old generation ,give them more caring and healthfully and fair envirnoment , also, the goverment need to use more social resources for the aging of population.
besides,
in my own mind, the old British family View is from A Room With A View.
and, what does the Anglicism father look like? Giuseppe Conlon in In The Name Of The Father gave me the best answer .
the Anglicism mother? I like Queen as I like Queen-self .
and, how's the young people ? like Trainspotting ? like Cashback? like This is England ?
like High Fidelity ?
nothing, nothing, just go and rock !
also,like the human emotions ,to describe the British family, the above movies or books are miniatures, they are theatrical and not objective,
I dont care , that's all

Hi Anna
Thanks for doing some research to DISCOVER about families in Britain.
As you've identified, the situation of families in Britain, is complex. The effects of changes in the family structure have a direct impact on wider social structures.
Do you think China will ever change the 'one family, one child' policy?
Have you seen all the movies you have mentioned here on your Blog? What did you think of In the Name of the Father?
