    • 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
