Basically a family consisting of a) mother, b) father, c) children, d) and a status of being able to provide itself with material and/or monetary goods. In contrast to the extended family, the nuclear family has to share the goods and resources only between a small group of individuals. This form of household organisation emerged in the 17th and 18th centuries. Most scholars see a close connection of the nuclear family with the processes and changes due to the Industrial Revolution.

-What can be described as a nuclear family can be explained in terms of a family consisting of a) one mother, b) one father, c) one or two or even more children, d) and a status of being able to provide itself with material and/or monetary goods. In Opposition to the [[extended family]], the nuclear family has to share the goods and resources only between a small group of individuals. On the other hand sharing resources with a close knit family network (see also extended family) would contradict the conditions of being defined as a nuclear family.

-At the beginning and also during the industrial revolution, which was a long-lasting process during which productional and technical changes had a wide-range influence on productive structures, family structures also had been changing due to newly emerging social phenomena. On account of industrial changings the bourgeois nuclear family came to be the dominant form of family structures.
