Urbanisation has brought significant changes in the structure, functions and relationships of the family. At the same time, many traditional features of family life continue to exist, showing that urbanisation does not completely replace older institutions but produces a combination of continuity and change. The family therefore adapts to changing economic, social and cultural conditions while retaining certain basic characteristics. One major change is in family structure. Traditional joint families, which were common in rural areas, tend to become less prevalent in cities because of limited housing space, occupational mobility, high living costs and the need to move closer to workplaces. Nuclear families consisting of parents and children have consequently become more common. However, joint family relationships have not disappeared completely.
