Bennett, A. (2007). Family Structure and Support Issues, Boston. Nova Publishers,
The book covers the support structure of the family in a much more primitive light, that of survival in the face of adversity and challenges associated with the first world. With a population in many of the world’s developed countries commence their decline and dwindling or become heavily disproportionate with the aged outnumbering the young, families are looked at in terms of their support structures, social affiliations and encouragement as vital issues. This book, therefore, defines and examines these essential issues and conflicts and relates them to the instinctive need for survival.
