21st-Century Family<\/strong> \u2013 An interview with detective Nikos Pelekasis<\/a>, originally published in the newspaper Pontiaki Gnomi<\/em><\/p>\n

Every year, 15 May is celebrated as \u201cInternational Day of Families.\u201d<\/strong> A family is recognised as a socially acknowledged and established form of cohabitation between members who share common goals and usually live under the same roof, regardless of whether they are biologically related.<\/p>\n

The family model has changed in recent years according to geographical, educational, economic and other needs.<\/p>\n

Thus, the following forms have developed:<\/p>\n

a) The nuclear family<\/a>:<\/strong> man, woman, children.<\/p>\n

b) The single-parent family<\/strong>, resulting from divorce or the birth of a child outside marriage, and concerning women to a greater extent.<\/p>\n

c) The reconstituted family<\/strong>, resulting from divorce and remarriage.<\/p>\n

d) The extended family<\/strong>, consisting of parents, children and other relatives who live close to one another and provide emotional and financial support, while also maintaining frequent communication.<\/p>\n

e) The migrant family<\/strong>, another model in which its members do not live together, distances are great, and meetings and communication are limited.<\/p>\n

Within the family<\/strong>, there are no formally established rules, but rather self-evident ones: mutual respect, two-way communication and collective decision-making. Patriarchal or matriarchal families are few because the model is not functional. According to research, the egalitarian family, in which decisions are made by both members, is ideal.<\/p>\n

In all cases, parents have an obligation towards their children to provide for their living needs, education, upbringing, safety and gradual integration into society.<\/p>\n

In recent years, a decline in the birth rate has been observed, which is attributed to the crisis, as couples are financially unable to cope with the cost of raising children.<\/p>\n

Finally, despite the forecasts, measurements and statistics of other European countries, the Greek family may indeed be evolving and changing its model, but it remains a strong social institution and an emotional refuge with enduring values.<\/p>\n
