Death of the traditional family

Only one in six people in Britain think they live as part of a traditional family, according to claims by a new think-tank yesterday.


Apparently, only a small minority come from ‘traditional nuclear families’ with married parents and two or more children, the Centre for the Modern Family said.


Its report said the traditional family is out of date and that the Government should consider ways to support alternative family forms that are adopted by the majority.


But the group’s research and findings were criticised by analysts who said that according to official statistics, six out of ten of all families with children are led by two married parents.
