Families Today More Egalitarian
August 29, 2017
The very existence of youth is due in part to the necessity for play; the animal does not play because he is young, he has a period of youth because he must play.
-Karl Groos, German evolutionary biologist, 1861–1946

"Researchers who study the structure and evolution of the American family express unsullied astonishment at how rapidly the family has changed in recent years, the transformations often exceeding or capsizing those same experts' predictions of just a few journal articles ago," wrote Natalie Angier in a New York Times article.

"Yet for all the restless shape-shifting of the American family, researchers who comb through census, survey and historical data and conduct field studies of ordinary home life have identified a number of key emerging themes.

"Families, they say, are becoming more socially egalitarian over all, even as economic disparities widen. Families are more ethnically, racially, religiously and stylistically diverse than half a generation ago."
