- Need for small family unit for geographical mobility
- High rates of social mobility weaken kin links
- Greater affluence and reduced family functions- less need for kin in times of distress
- A more meritocratic society- what you know not who you know. Kin is less useful or not needed.
- Need to avoid economic and status conflict between extended kin
