In the last decade, the closeness among different families has significantly decreased the world over. While some opine that this is due to current global economic scenario, others think that change in the attitude of people is the main cause. This essay is an attempt to examine the causes of such separation, and suggest suitable ways to bring closer.

One of the main causes that present families are not close as before because there is insufficient time to catch up each other. Since aggressive materialism and global competition are realities, both parents have to work full-time that end up in having less leisure time. This inadequate time is meagre not only for interaction but also to understand different families. For example, in India, full-time tax -payers work long hours that end up in having little to no time being spent even to look after their children. In such busy schedule they find hard to mix up with other families, thereby reduce the intimacy among them.

However, there are linear solutions available for such causes, and reducing working hours is one of them because this acts as a precursor for having sufficient time to mix up. Side by side, it is better if working week is lessened for every individual for the growing unemployment rate. The possible illustration is that in China people usually work 6 days a week, and if these are reduced to 4 days, then it excessively increases the employment opportunities. Besides, individuals find themselves more time to make effective communication. As a result, the intimacy among families in the society would probably grow up.

At the end of the day, family relationship is important for any country. So the public authority should identify all causes for the reduction in closeness. Then, it must implement appropriate strategies to increase the closeness among citizens.
