Abstract
This paper aims to identify the relationship between unemployment and its affective nature on the family structure and posits that there is a significant relationship between the two, wherein unemployment leads to the weakening of the family structure and a decrease in self-esteem of the individual. Further, factors influencing family dissolution and low self-esteem or psychological well-being due to unemployment are also discussed. These objectives are achieved through study of related literature on the topic.
From the Paper
"Human society has forces that sometimes create balances and imbalances among individuals within the society. With this premise, it can be said that some changes within the social structure may be beneficial to an individual and detrimental for the other. Indeed, one illustration of these imbalances in the society is the negative, or non-beneficial, effects of unemployment of an individual on his/her family. Although unemployment may be best viewed as an economic issue, the social and psychological effects that it brings to the individual and society makes it an essential issue to be discussed in the domains of sociology and psychology."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the correlation between family structure and delinquency. The writer notes that one area of needed reform is the segment of the system that deals specifically with children under the age of majority, which differs from state to state. The writer points out that in the late 1800s, the juvenile justice system was created, not simply to punish, but to also rehabilitate the thousands of juveniles who had been forced to enter into the adult system. In the more than 100 years since its inception, the juvenile justice system remains a fragmented system of juvenile victims and juvenile offenders. The writer describes different cases to discuss this issue and includes tables of statistics. The writer concludes that in an ideal world, all children would have the benefit of two loving parents, a financially and emotionally secure home, and a chance to become anything they wish to become in life. The writer maintains that in reality, there is no way to guarantee a two-parent home for all children, but a concerted effort can be made to fill the voids created by those who are absent in the way of mentoring and other interactive relationships.

From the Paper
"Two year old Nateyonna Banks had been a ward of the state of Georgia since she had been born in 2004. Her twenty-nine year old mother, Shandrell had given birth to her during her incarceration in the county prison on cocaine possession. The baby's great aunt, Carolyn took over the job of raising little Nateyonna while her mother continued to serve her sentence. In 2006 when Carolyn petitioned the court for financial help in raising Nateyonna, County DFCS workers agreed to leave her in the custody of her aunt."
"When Shandrell Banks was released from prison, DFCS supervisors overturned the ruling based on information that the aunt was incompetent, and awarded her custody of her daughter. She began living with a friend in a small apartment and her income consisted of a $65.00 weekly unemployment check. According to a transcript of a July 31, 2006 hearing, Shandrell was receiving help with parenting skills as well as with anger management."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The family, an evolving entity that exists beyond the boundaries of genetics, encompasses relationships intertwined by emotions, education, proximity and biology. The roles each member of the family holds: father, mother sister, and brother, impact the family specifically, and potentially impact society at large. This paper examines these ideas by taking a look at "Ellen Foster" by Kay Gibbons, "Child of Divorce" by Celia Rothenberg and "Confessions of an Erstwhile Child" (anonymous).
From the Paper
"The actions of the family affect society at large. Roles remain the same, but the people playing them and their methods constantly fluctuate. While increasingly common to find homes where both parents work, it remains an unfortunate necessity. Children of these homes often draw their life's instructions from daycare workers and television rather than the tutelage of their mothers and fathers. Rather, it is imperative that the pursuit of advanced education, critical thinking, and spiritual exploration be encouraged and demonstrated by the parents."

Abstract
This paper reviews the unique structure of the Caribbean family, as the matrifocal character with "male marginality" often left an impression of "dysfunctional" family. This essay looks at some of the characteristics of this structure and how the matrifocal and male marginality emerged from issues of power, sexuality, gender roles and economic circumstances. This essay examines these factors and explain how each of them affected the current structure of Caribbean family. The Caribbean family has been the focus of extensive research since 1940s. Our understanding of the Caribbean family has improved significantly since these early beginnings.

Abstract
This paper discusses a Caribbean family structure and women's power vis-a-vis men. The paper also discusses matrifocal emphasis observed in many Caribbean families, but also the sway of stereotypes, and as these are constantly disproved in a varied and international Caribbean population.
From the Paper
"Historical Challenges to Patriarchy in Caribbean Families. Introduction Patriarchy has been plain the many Caribbean families but historical factors also produce different presentations of masculinity, and a profound matrifocality as varied forces. This paper refers to a variety of sources to introduce the Caribbean family as often different from the so-called nuclear family that once prevailed in North America, or elsewhere in the West, as discussed by Luxton. (1995). One finds great variety in Caribbean families, and also, patterns alluded to that indicate a distinctive Caribbean history."

Laslett and the History of Family Structure, 2001.
A look at the reconstruction of family composition in Europe during the early modern period of the 17th and 18th centuries by historians such as P. Laslett.

Abstract
The paper examines the reconstruction of family composition in 17th and 18th centuries by historian, P. Laslett in his book "The World We Have Lost". It explores why some theories such as the late age of first marriage that was apparently unique to pre-modern Europe, have not been challenged, while others, such as the notion of a stable nuclear pattern, have been disputed at length.
From the Paper
"Because early modern Europe was principally a rural and class-based society, the family structure during this era was highly reliant upon on social rank. When there was land and money at stake, marriage within the same social class was paramount. The poor were also limited to marrying within their social class, but had a larger pool of potential mates from which to choose. This was a time in history in which two-generation households, rather than three-generation households, were customary. The oldest members of the household traditionally bestowed any holdings they had to the next generation upon retirement, and remained in close proximity to the family. The close support that existed between relatives living in separate but neighboring homes makes it difficult to distinguish whether the independent nuclear family was the basic family unit during this time, or whether it was actually the extended family (Laslett, 1984)."

From the Paper
"The family exerts a powerful emotional impact over the individual. So strong is this influence that dysfunction in the individual is often a reflection of dysfunction within the family. Sigmund Freud ecognized this phenomenon in treating his patients. Family structure therapy and Bowenian theory also acknowledge the importance of family in healing the individual.
Structural family therapy views the family in terms of three components: structure, subsystems, and boundaries. Structure describes the repeated patterns that define family relationships, and includes the rules that govern behavior and dictate the assumption of roles and functions. The hierarchical structure of the family describes the framework of authority, which in turn determines how intra-familial conflict will be mediated. Nichols and Schwartz (1995) explain that family structure is difficult ..."
