“Urbanization and Its Effects on Traditional Family Systems in Karnataka”: A Sociological Analysis

Author(s) Dr. Chandrashekara C
Country India
Abstract Urbanization has emerged as a powerful force of social transformation in Karnataka over the last few decades. Rapid industrial growth, expansion of the service sector, development of urban centers such as Bengaluru, Mysuru, Mangaluru, Hubballi–Dharwad and Kalaburagi, and continuous rural–urban migration has deeply influenced the social structure of the state. Among the most significantly affected institutions is the family—traditionally the cornerstone of Indian society. This study examines how urbanization reshapes traditional family systems in Karnataka, focusing on structural, functional, cultural, and relational changes. The analysis highlights the transition from joint to nuclear families, changes in gender roles, shifting marriage patterns, weakening kinship networks, and emerging challenges in childcare and elderly care. While urbanization has increased individual autonomy, education, employment opportunities, and gender equality, it has also created stress, intergenerational conflicts, and erosion of traditional values. The study concludes that urbanization in Karnataka produces complex and multidimensional changes in family life that require adaptive social policies and community-based support systems.
