Question

i need some info about nuclear families in the 1970's if anyone has any good information please feel free to educate me. :)

Answer 1

The nuclear family: Breadwinning father, homemaking mother, two to five children. (This isn't a set number, but it does appear to be the norm.) Was all well and good up until the women's movement began and the wives started working. Has now become the minority. And don't it feel good.

Answer 2

The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979, inclusive.

In the Western world, the focus shifted from the social activism of the sixties to social activities simply for one's own pleasure, save for environmentalism, which continued in a very visible way. The seventies were characterized by the writer Tom Wolfe as the "Me Decade."

The perception of the established institutions of nuclear family, religion and trust in one's government continued to lose ground during this time. Major developments of the sexual revolution included the awareness of the impact of contraceptive pills on social-interactional relationships, and an increase in divorce rates, single parent households, and pre-marital sex. By the end of the decade the feminist movement had helped improve women's working conditions. The Gay Rights movement gained prominence and the hippie culture, which started in the 1960s, peaked and carried on through the end of the decade. The United States' withdrawal from Vietnam and the resignation of Richard Nixon help lead to a vague sense of malaise.

While the United States experienced recession, the economy of Japan rose. The economies of many third world countries continued to make steady progress in the early 1970s through the green revolution. They might have thrived and become stable in the way that Europe recovered after the war through the Marshall Plan; however, the economic growth was slowed by the oil crisis.
