British families

In comparison with most other places in the world, family identity is rather weak in Britain, especially in England. Of course, most people still live in families. But in Britain, this definitely means the nuclear family (нуклеарная семья, состоящая из родителей и их детей). There is little sense of extended family identity (расширенная семья) except among racial minorities (расовые меньшинства). This is reflected in the size and composition of households. It is unusual for adults of different generations within the family to live together.
