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.
