what culture has about 7% of adults that live with their extended families?

eastern european
western european
american
sub-saharan african

Explanation:

The question asks which culture has approximately 7% of adults living with their extended families.

According to global demographic data on living arrangements (such as reports from the Pew Research Center on household patterns), there are significant regional variations in extended family households:

• In many non-Western regions, such as Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, living with extended family is highly common, often exceeding 30% to 40% of the population.
• In North America (specifically the United States), the percentage of adults living in extended family households is relatively low, typically estimated around 10% or fewer (with various studies placing the figure around 7% to 11% depending on the specific year and definition of adult/household).
• Comparing the options provided:
• Sub-Saharan African: Highly prevalent extended family living (typically over 30%).
• Eastern European: Moderately high compared to Western Europe, but significantly higher than 7%.
• Western European: Generally low, but often characterized by high rates of living alone or in nuclear families.
• American: In the United States, demographic data indicates that approximately 7% to 8% of the population lives in extended-family households, reflecting a highly individualistic culture where nuclear families or independent living arrangements are the standard.

Therefore, the culture that matches the approximately 7% statistic is the American culture.

• (A) Eastern European
