Key themes include family structures such as blended and dual-career families, factors influencing lone parenthood, and sociological functions of families.

The paper integrates theoretical perspectives from Parsons, Bowles, and Gintis, analyzing concepts like primary socialization and correspondence principle. Research methods, including postal questionnaires, unstructured interviews, and longitudinal studies, are critically evaluated. Discussions highlight social stratification, cultural capital, and the interplay between education and workplace dynamics. Keywords: sociology, families, education, social mobility, inequality.
