jigsaw family 拼图家庭

Jigsaw family is a household that includes two or more sets of children from the parents‘ previous relationships, in addition to any children they have together.

Jigsaw family指夫妻双方带着各自之前婚姻中的孩子，以及他们自己的孩子共同组成的新家庭，即“拼图家庭”。

The traditional married couple with 1.6 children was increasingly being replaced by "amalgamated" or "jigsaw" families where one or both of the couple have children from a previous relationship.

传统的一对夫妻加1.6个孩子的家庭模式正在被“混合家庭”或“拼图家庭”所取代，这类家庭中夫妻一方或双方会带着之前婚姻中的孩子加入新家庭。
