Abstract	This bulletin explores the social, economic, and demographic trends that have contributed to the changing structure of the American family. Sections of the document discuss: (1) definitions of household and family; (2) types of families, including married couples with and without children and single-parent families; (3) living arrangements of children, young adults, and the elderly; (4) demographic data pertaining to marriage, and trends in marriage, divorce, and remarriage; (5) childbearing patterns, including issues of family size, teenage parents, unmarried mothers, and adoption; (6) the changing roles of wives, husbands, children, and grandparents; (7) the economic well-being of families, including a consideration of topics of family income, poverty rates, and income inequalities by social class, educational level, and race; and (8) the future of the American family. Numerous black and white photographs are included, and a reference list of 94 items and a list of 20 additional suggested readings are appended. (BC)
