Families and Households are two related
concepts.The united Nations (2014) defines a family
within the household as "those members of the
household who are related, to a specified
degree, through blood, adoption, or marriage." A
household, on the other hand, can either be a one-
person household or a multi-person household.
A one-person household refers to "an arrangement
in which one person makes provision for his or
her own food or other essentials for living
without combining with any other person to
form part of a multi-person household." A multi-
person household refers to a "group of two or
more or persons living together who make
common provision for food or other essentials
for living."
NUCLEAR FAMILY AND
EXTENDED FAMILY
NUCLEAR FAMILY
A type of family that is made up of a
group of people who are united by
social ties. It is usually made up of two
adults and their socially recognized
children. It is made up of a married
couple and their biological or
adopted child or child.
EXTENDED FAMILY
A type of family whose members go
beyond the nuclear family made up
of parents and their offspring.. An
extended family household may be in
any of the following forms:
Two or more nuclear

RECONSTITUTED
FAMILIES
Blended Family
A TYPE OF FAMILY WHERE THE PARENTS
HAVE A CHILD OR CHILDREN FROM
PREVIOUS MARITAL RELATIONSHIPS BUT
ALL THE MEMBERS STAY AND CONGREGATE
TO FORM A NEW FAMILY UNIT. IT IS
SOMETIMES CALLED A STEP FAMILY
RECONSTITUED FAMILY, OR A COMPLEX
FAMILY.
IN THIS TYPE OF FAMILY, THE PARENTS MAY
OR MAY NOT HAVE CHILDREN WITH EACH
OTHER. MOST OFTEN, PARENTS OF A
BLENDED FAMILY REMARRY AFTER
EXPERIENCING A PAINFUL DIVORCE OR THE
DEMISE OF A SPOUSE, WHILE SOME MODERN
BLENDED FAMILIES DO NOT MARRY AND
WOULD USUALLY STAY AND LIVE IN ONE
HOUSE WITH THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE.
