Trois modes d'organisation domestique selon deux normes familiales font six types de famille
Menahem Georges. ? Three modes of domestic organization x two family norms = six family types. Behaviour and strategy of families can be distinguished by the type of relationships between men and women members. That is the principal conclusion drawn from the analysis of a representative sample of 1 739 French families. There are, (a) associative families in which the occupational and domestic participation of both spouses is more egalitarian, and these contrast sharply with both (b) conjugal families in which women tend to concentrate on motherhood and domesticity, and (c) patrimonial families organized around the exigencies of family business and reproduction. In each of these three types of domestic organization, two sub-groups can be distinguished : traditionalist and modernist, depending on the household's social relations and corresponding behavioural norms. This results in a total of six homogeneous family types defined in terms of behaviour and the strategies on which it is based.
