Changing Family Structure and Fertility Patterns

Conditions which tend to discourage couples from having large families include the general scarcity of goods and services, limite…

The Valuation of Children and Parenthood Among the Voluntarily Childless and Parental Couples in Canada
Recent demographic evidence indicating a declining fertility rate, developments such as the increase in the participation of married women in the labor force, and the emergence of alternatives to traditional marriage and family patterns seem to suggest a subtle shift in attitudes toward children and parenthood in Canada. The present study attempts to examine the nature of such a shift by exploring certain values that presumably influence fertilit…

Power and Solidarity
This study investigates a role-specific vertical solidarity in South India, where urban Christian households employ rural Christians as domestics. The mistress-servant bond is characterized by the paradoxical features of subordination and devotion, unconditionality and instrumentality, sentiment and social distance. Their bond may appear to be dyadic, but in fact it implies a network of reciprocities among multiple social actors: the families of …

Geographic Mobility, Kinship and the Family in South India
Much of the research on the Indian family is an attempt to establish the presence or absence of the joint family. The present paper deviates from the usual joint family controversy and focuses on the nature of the kinship and family ties among the 287 migrant lower-class and lower-caste gold miners in Kolar Gold Fields in Mysore State, India. The data suggest that the geographic mobility has caused the breakdown of the localistic patrilineal kins…
Migration, Acculturation and Social Mobility Among the Untouchable Gold Miners in South India
This paper studies the factors of migration among the Paraiyans of South India. Migration is motivated by a desire to be free from the stigma of Untouchability and perpetual economic bondage. The Paraiyans by coming over to an industrial city try to project a new self free from the social constraints prevalent in their villages. The process of acculturation occurs through the Paraiyan's association with disparate individuals, clubs, trade unions …

Family Structure and Entrepreneurship
The relationship between entrepreneurship and family structure has been one of the central interests to family sociologists. The assumption that the extended family organization restricts economic development has been questioned here. Using case study method it has been shown that among the Jains of India, the family partnerships and the value of family solidarity are positively related to entrepreneurship. Further, the function of the compartmen…

Urban Kinship Ties in South India
extended kin relationships in urban contexts functional to the individual and the family? Are there differences in kinship ties that occur when controlling for caste and class? Joint-family oriented research tends to ignore these questions while traditional anthropological research on kinship concerns itself mainly with the principles of descent and alliance. Therefore, it is necessary for current research to recognize the significance of egobase…
