It provides not only material and financial support but also the social and emotional support that is imperative to a person’s growth. Bronfenbrenner’s (1993) ecological systems theory placed the family as one of the elements in the microsystem.

And in cultures around the world, the family is a major sphere of influence in a person’s development.
