In many places, care structures and notions of family are evolving. In the U.S., for example, less than 20% of households now fit the mold of married couples with kids. Even so, the nuclear family is still the basis for such benefits as health care, health insurance, tax breaks, and citizenship.
On this episode of Welcome Change, we hear from Ashoka Fellow Diana Adams, who is expanding the legal and cultural understanding of family and showing how a more spacious definition can help everyone – especially kids, who benefit from stable adult relationships (including same sex couples, single people, multi-partner and multigenerational families).
