What is family life like in China modern day?

- Smaller families; nuclear families more common (parents live separately)

- Parents more educated; greater focus on child's education / employment opportunities

- Children often have private/extra tutors after school

In rural areas:

- Extended families are still common & parents often involved in farming

- Emphasis on maintaining agricultural lifestyle and passing on familial heritage.

- Younger people generally less educated due to fewer opportunities; often migrate to towns/cities

Overall, China is seeing rapid urbanisation + westernisation which affect family culture in many significant ways and the trend toward smaller nuclear families in both rural and urban China will likely grow even stronger over time.
