Best answer

The condition of urban family transformed in the following ways.

By the twentieth century, the urban family had been transformed once again due to First World War. Women played an important part in this.
This transformation came into being partly by the experience of the valuable wartime work done by women, who were employed in large numbers to meet war demands.
The family now consisted of much smaller units and helped each other in the processes of production.
Due to these developments, the family became the heart of a new market. It propelled the production of goods and services, and ideas.
The ties between the members of households loosened and institution of marriage broke down.
