The "typical" family unit in the U.S. in 1950s, where a husband goes off to work while the 
wife is the homemaker, was favored as the most efficient family structure. Now, not only 
have the times changed, but the family norm has changed as well. A new study suggests that 
there is no such thing as a typical family anymore. Instead, the new norm is a diverse family 
structure. 
"Traditional" family structures can no longer exist because more women have entered the 
workforce since the '50s. Women were traditionally expected to take care of the children 
and the house and have dinner ready when their bread-winning husband returned home 
from work. Today, women attend college and enter the workforce and can independently 
take care of themselves and their families. In 2010, 37 percent of women received a 
bachelor's degree or more compared to 35 percent of men. Many families also need dual-
incomes in order to provide for their children.
