International Family Day is celebrated on May 15th to highlight the importance of families. It aims to foster equality and shared responsibilities between domestic and employment roles. The family is considered the basic unit of society. A family is generally defined as a group that lives together and cooperates economically, including adults and children. As societies modernize, the family loses some of its role in production and children receive more formal education outside the home. However, the Indian family traditionally remains stable as a joint or extended unit despite changes, though urbanization is increasing individualism. Women play a key role in socializing children and supporting family planning.
