가정은 최소 단위의 사회적 환경이고, 정규 교육 이전에 교육의 기초와 틀을 확립하는 곳이며, 인생과 사회 생활의 출발점이고, 가소성이 가장 큰 유아기의 행동과 성격의 방향을 결정지어 주는 장이다. 또한 가장 기초적인 영향력을 가지고 생애를 통하여 연관 맺고 있는 것이 가족 집단이라 말할 수 있다. 가정의 기능으론 경제적 기능과 사회화 기능을 비롯하여 자녀를 출산하고, 노약자를 보호하는 기능, 가족원 모두에게 정서적 안정과 휴식처를 제공해 줌으로써 노동력을 재생산하는 기능 등이 있다. 이런 기능 중 가정을 형성하고 구성하는 것으로 가장 중요하고 근본적인 것은 자녀를 출산하여 양육하는 것이다.
