Social factors affecting family life

• Family size (Number of family members: children, grandchildren, generations)
• Family composition (Particularly important for mosaic families)
• Family Model (Relationship between side-relatives and generations)
• Social level of the family (Family values)

• Financial situation of the family (Amount of income earned)
• Work division of family income (People who earn income in the family)
• Family income management model (Share of family members of total income)
