The inclusion of women in the job market, The rise in divorce rates, The recognition of rights of the lgbt community.

Explanation:

- The inclusion of women in the job market. This caused a huge impact in the lifestyles of families, in the past, the woman took care of chlidren and family chores while the man worked outside of home. Now, in most families both parents work and the care of children and housework are more equally divided among them.

- The rise in divorce rates. People get divorced at higher rates than in the past, this has brought a change in the composition of families, there are more single mothers and single fathers than before, this has also brought an increased in so called blended families.

- The recognition of rights of the lgbt community. The legalization of gay marriage and adoption has also brought a diversification of families.
