Sažetak
Our knowledge about changes in the family structure is only partial. General theories help us to understand the directions in which a family is changing (gradually losing its function and becoming more unstable) but they are of very little help in short term predictions and rapidly changing situations. There is very little reliable knowledge in Croatia today about the really dramatic changes in the family structure. There is no research, the institutions are preoccupied with war problems and consequences, so that the only indicators we have only show that the changes are rapid and tumultuous but cannot explain their actual flow. The paper deals with some theories about family changes (Ogburn, Zimmerman, Good, Parsons). Critical importance regarding these changes is given to some objective processes of industrialization and urbanization. There are no data on the number of households and divorce rates in Croatia. Particular attention is given to a legal analysis of the limitations of family life regulation theory. The author is of the opinion that the legal regulation contains some inevitable dysfunctions.
