There are many nuclear family or many people live alone these days. This phenomenon is due to many reasons. In general, it's because the world is becoming modernized and changing from traditional to modern lifestyles. There are some reasons why more and more people live alone or with much smaller families.
First, what I consider as the main reason is money. Unlike the old days, it takes a lot of money for people to raise a child. All the costs are very higher, and especially in modern days educating children is money consuming. I heard that It takes half a billion dollars to raise a child these days. Therefore, it's natural that people give up raising a child to save money. There are also some people who don't have choice but to keep a small family because they don't have money.
Second, a means of living has changed. In old days, people usually did farm work to live. Therefore, they always needed many people to keep on their means of living. However, these days people do other things such as working at a company or teaching, etc. to make their money. Therefore, these days' people have tendency of living alone.
In conclusion, there are many reasons why more and more people live alone or with much smaller families. Money, and living style changing.
