Nuclear family

Common Definition

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.
