Joint Family System
The Joint Family System is a traditional family structure where multiple generations live together under one roof. This system typically includes grandparents, parents, children, and sometimes even uncles, aunts, and cousins. The family shares resources, responsibilities, and decision-making, fostering a strong sense of unity and support among members.
In many cultures, especially in countries like India and Pakistan, the Joint Family System is valued for its emphasis on collective living and mutual care. It often provides emotional and financial security, as family members can rely on each other during times of need. However, it may also lead to conflicts due to differing opinions and lifestyles.
