Feedback:
The most familiar family form is the nuclear family: A two-generation unit consisting of a husband, wife, and their immediate children—biological, adopted, or both—living within one household. Many adults live alone in apartments or houses with no children involved. This is called a single-adult household. This scenario is common for young adults before entering into other types of family structures, or for older individuals who have lost a partner through separation, divorce, or death. Outside employment for both partners in a family may necessitate careful structuring of household tasks. Nuclear families in which both parents work outside the home are referred to as dual-career or dual-worker families. In the commuter family, both adults are usually professionals.
