Economic conditions reinvigorating family bonds ?

Austerity: the rise of the Royle family lifestyle | Society | guardian.co.uk.

The above link is to an excellent and very interesting blog post in today’s Guardian – one of the features of the rapid changes in society in the last 20 years has been the breakdown of family bonds and the culture of the individual. As the Guardian point out in this article, economic conditions are now forcing a rethink and families are being forced to start living together again.

Do you think this is a regressive step or is it instead an example of some good coming out of these difficult economic conditions ?
