    What's the story

    The United Nations General Assembly established the International Day of Families in 1994 to honor the value of well-balanced families and how they become the pillar of strength during difficult times.

    The Economic and Social Council, the Commission for Social Development recommended its resolution in 1983 and urged the Secretary-General to promote awareness among decision-makers about the problems and needs of families.

    The day was officially established in 1994.

    Facts

    Some interesting facts about families

    According to various studies, the average family in the United States of America spends only 37 minutes of quality time together every day owing to the busy schedules of both parents and children.

    The word family is derived from the Latin word "famulus" which means both servants and relatives.

    Apart from relatives, families also included servants of the household until the late 17th century.
