“421 Family”, that is, after a pair of only child get married and give birth to a child, their family structure will consist of 4 parents, one child and themselves. In the expected future, China’s family “pyramid” of four generations in one household will be rapidly evolved into the family structure of “reverse pyramid”, and “421 Family” will become a new family mainstream of China.
