Question
Select all that applyWhich of the following factors have contributed to the decline in traditional nuclear family households in the United States?Multiple select question.More women are working at paid jobs and delaying marriage, or not marrying at all.More parents are raising children without a spouse.More people are living alone.Grandparents have become more enthused about raising their grandchildren after the parents divorce.People are marrying at younger ages than ever before.More women are leaving the workforce to become homemakers.
Solution
The factors that have contributed to the decline in traditional nuclear family households in the United States are:
- More women are working at paid jobs and delaying marriage, or not marrying at all.
- More parents are raising children without a spouse.
- More people are living alone.
The other options do not contribute to the decline in traditional nuclear family households. The statement "Grandparents have become more enthused about raising their grandchildren after the parents divorce" does not necessarily indicate a decline in nuclear families, but rather a shift in who is raising the children. The statement "People are marrying at younger ages than ever before" is incorrect as people are generally marrying later. The statement "More women are leaving the workforce to become homemakers" would actually support the traditional nuclear family model, not contribute to its decline.
