The impact of Covid-19 has been more on nuclear family members as compared to people staying together in joint family. Nuclear families have been the most impacted with a drop of 10.5 points in the Life Freedom Index (LFI). Joint families have been stable, possibly due to a better support system in the time of crisis. This was revealed in a study on the LFI conducted by HDFC Life, one of India’s leading private life insurance companies.
