The Ibn Khaldon Center for Humanities and Social Sciences at Qatar University (QU) recently conducted a study on the structure and functions of Qatari families. The research aimed to explore the balance between tradition and modernity within Qatari families, which are deeply influenced by globalisation and Western ideologies. The study investigated various aspects of the Qatari family, including its structure, functions, members’ roles, behaviours, and traditions.

In the rapidly changing landscape of Qatari society, traditional values and customs are being challenged by external forces such as globalization and the influence of Western ideals. The study highlighted the complexities faced by Qatari families in navigating between deeply rooted Arab traditions and Islamic values, and the modern influences brought about by globalisation. An array of changes in the Qatari family system reflects the ongoing struggle to strike a balance between tradition and modernity.

The study drew upon previous research on the evolution of Qatari families over the decades. Past studies have shown a shift towards nuclear families and changes in gender roles, with women increasingly entering the workforce and contributing to family finances. Despite such changes, traditional family roles and responsibilities have largely persisted, showing patterns of partnership emerging in financial duties within the family unit.

A quantitative approach was employed by the research team in gathering data from 240 Qatari citizens through a detailed questionnaire. Analysis of the data using SPSS software provided valuable insights into the perceptions of traditional and modern aspects of Qatari families. The study identified three distinct intellectual phases within Qatari families, showcasing a mix of traditional practices and evolving trends.

One of the key findings of the study was the continued adherence to religious and cultural traditions within Qatari families, including practices like regular prayers, wearing national costumes, and sharing family meals. Additionally, traditional gender roles were observed, with women primarily focusing on childrearing and fathers serving as the main decision-makers within the family. However, certain aspects of family life were noted to be in a state of change, such as the rise of nuclear families, women’s financial contributions, and multilingual communication within families.

The study also highlighted newer trends within Qatari families, including increased acceptance of marriages outside the tribe, greater involvement of fathers in child-rearing duties, and a preference for luxurious lifestyles. These emerging trends reflect the ongoing transformations within Qatari families as they navigate between tradition and modernity. Overall, the study sheds light on the complex dynamics at play within Qatari families and their ongoing efforts to strike a balance between age-old traditions and contemporary influences.
