This study looks at the effects of industrialization and urban migration on joint family patterns in Varanasi, Kanpur, and Lucknow, three important Indian cities in Uttar Pradesh. Due to the rapid urbanization and increasing rural-to-urban migration, traditional family structures-particularly the joint family system-are undergoing major change. The study examines how social mobility, cultural shifts, economic opportunity, and education are affecting family relationships. It examines how the aspirations of younger generations for individualism, better living circumstances, and employment in urban locations pose a threat to the old collectivist ideals of joint families. Using qualitative interviews, surveys, and case studies, this study investigates how family ties, the role of elders, and shifting patterns of family support are evolving.
