Functionalist perspective on family
Murdoch
Four functions of the family
Stable satisfaction of the sex drive
Reproduction of the next generation
Socialisation of the young
Economic provision for members
Criticisms
Argue that other institutions could meet these needs
Feminists: see the family as serving men and oppressing women
Marxists: meets the needs of capitalism, not members or wider society
Society based on a value consensus
Consists of sub-systems that depend on each other
Body analogy
Parsons 'functional fit' theory
Identifies two different types of family structure
Nuclear family
'Structurally isolated' from extended kin
Extended family
Family structure willchange to 'fit' society
Two basic types of society
Pre-industrial society
Extended family best suited
Modern industrial society
Nuclear family best suited
Has two essential needs
A geographically mobile workforce
Requires people to move to where their job is
Easier in the nuclear family
A socially mobile workforce
Status no longer ascribed as birth - people can achieve based on how hard they work
Easier in nuclear family as there will not be tension between the two males of the household
Criticisms
Y&W argue pre-industrial family was nuclear, not extended
Laslett's study of households in 1821 supported this
Late child bearing and short life expectancy
Exchange theory - breaking off/maintaining family ties because of the benefits/costs involved
Y&W: nuclear family no longer dominant
Loss of functions
Parsons says that family lost many of it's functions to other institutions
Modern nuclear family performs two essential functions
Primary socialisation of children
Stabilisation of adult personalities
Family is a place to release tensions to enable them to return to the workplace refreshed
