Absolutely. The talking point is that the "nuclear family" (alluding to the Post-WWII American WHITE nuclear family, dad works, mom raises kids, house in suburbs) is obsolete and needs to be replaced by the "extended family". The extended family, composed of multiple generations of biological relatives living together or in close proximity, is perfectly fine and good and has been the norm across times and cultures.

But this is linguistic subterfuge. Extended families, clans, are very problematic for centralized governments. What they really mean by extended families is broken families.
