Well, we will see some diversity in the formation of the families. We will see more nuclear families than ever. We can predict that we will see same-sex families, one-parent families, and sometimes the older generation will be also isolated, and one of the grandparents will live in one house, like that. And the reason that we can predict that there will be more nuclear families is that it is going to be hard to grow, to maintain the growth of the fertility rate. We are already seeing the fertility rate is decreasing, and the independence, the sense of independence is increasing, and people are choosing same-sex marriages. So, these are the three factors that can lead to people not having descendants, and their family will die with them also. So, yeah, I think these are the factors that will decrease the member amount of any families, and in the long run, it will create a lot of problems.

Well, we will see some diversity in the formation of families. We will see more nuclear families than ever. We can predict that we will see same-sex families, one-parent families, and sometimes the older generation will also be isolated, with one of the grandparents living in one house, for example. The reason we can predict that there will be more nuclear families is that it is going to be hard to maintain the growth of the fertility rate. We are already seeing the fertility rate decrease, and the sense of independence is increasing, with people choosing same-sex marriages. These are the three factors that can lead to people not having descendants, and their family will die with them as well. So, I think these are the factors that will decrease the number of members in families, and in the long run, it will create a lot of problems.
