Atomization of families also occurs under communism.
Part of the reason for atomization is because the economic necessity for extended families keeping together isn't there.
Yes, this is a good observation, but the question is what is really the cause of this? Clearly it isn't economics alone. I would guess it is mostly due to specific family dynamics and this wouldn't necessarily extend to non-biological extended "families" of your choosing.
You also have stability of government and the role of government a person's life.
A civil dispute in a society with a strong government can be handled between two individuals and a judge. A similar dispute in a weak government usually relies more on two families negotiating.
Most wealthy nations have some form of welfare and pension system, poorer ones usually rely more on family support.
