Laslett: Nuclear Family Existed
Before Industrialisation
- Eg. between 1821 and 1966 only 10% of
households contained relatives outside of
the nuclear family - this percentage was
the same in 1564 before the industrial
revolution.
- No sign of extended family in the traditional peasant world giving
way to nuclear conjugal household of modern industrial society.
Rather, nuclear family was a norm in pre-industrial society.
