1. A nuclear family comprises father, mother and the children, while an extended family comprises nuclear family (ies), grandparents, uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces and others.

2.  There are no cousins, aunts, and uncles to fall back upon for a growing kid in a nuclear family. However, in nuclear families, there is greater privacy and autonomy for the head of the family who is free to take decisions, which is not possible in an extended family.

3. European researchers, say that nuclear families have been a primary arrangement in England since the 13th century. This primary arrangement was different from the normal arrangements in Southern Europe, in parts of Asia, and the Middle East

4. Gambia and Senegal have the world's biggest households, with an average person living with a dozen or more family members, but living arrangements also are fairly expansive in larger countries, such as Pakistan, where the average individual experiences a household size of 8.5, Nigeria (7.7), and India (5.8)

A nuclear family is a small family consisting of parents and children whereas an extended family consists of a nuclear family as well as more family members such as grandparents, uncles, cousins, and nephews.

In my opinion, an extended family is better than the nuclear family where members of an extended family would have a childhood full of socializing as well as them having better connections as adults.

In our opinion, we think that the families in the UAE are more predominant because of the religion they believe in, and as the years go by, their religion is becoming more like a culture that everyone follows, and it’s very nice since it’s within their religion to visit their grandparents and their family members (uncles and aunts). That’s why mostly in the middle eastern countries, there’re more extended families than in the western countries were they’re way less religious.

We think extended families in the UAE survived because of the religious factors where people respect their grandparents, uncles, and aunts more that eastern countries where people don't believe in any religion.

In the UAE, a family may consist of grandparents, parents, children and siblings all living together. The father is seen as the head of the family and holds the most authority. While women are respected they will normally lead separate lives from the men. Before people used to al be together as a family even in their neighborhood. However, nowadays people just take care of their family and some of them even don’t do this. Furthermore, UAE is considered much better then other countries.
