    The document discusses the evolution of family structures from early industrial societies to post-industrial societies. In early industrial societies, families typically had asymmetrical gender roles where the male and female had separate relationships and responsibilities. Over time, changes in conjugal roles in upper classes began to influence and "trickle down" to other class structures through a process called stratified diffusion. In post-industrial societies, relationships have become more symmetrical and based on joint conjugal roles and acceptance of gender equality, including men taking on a greater share of domestic work.
