In broad terms, the social order is becoming more discriminated along class, occupational, and specialized lines, with an escalating middle class and a declining percentage of countryside poor. Even though Spain had not yet achieved the stage of social demarcation seen in other superior industrial democracies in Western Europe, it is evidently shifting in the similar track. After the reinstatement of democratic system, the transforming in day by day Spanish life was as fundamental as the political revolution. These changes were even more prominent when contrast with the morals and communal practices that had succeeded in Spanish the social order during the Franco years. Fundamentally, Spanish social standards and approach were rationalized at the same speed, and to the same extent, as the country's class structure, economic establishment, and political structure. Thus far beneath these superficial changes, Spanish society was practicing wrenching alteration as its natives came more and more into contact with the rest of the world. To some degree, these changes were due to the rustic evacuation that had deracinated hundreds of thousands of Spaniards and had carried them into new metropolitan social settings.
The most momentous change in Spanish communal value, nevertheless, involved the responsibility of women in society, which, in turn, was associated to the nature of the family. Spanish society, for centuries, had embrace a system of moral principles that established stern standards of sexual activities for women; constrained the opportunities for specialized careers for women, but privileged their role as wives and mothers; and prohibited separation, contraception, and abortion, but allowed prostitution. In the conventional Spanish world, women hardly ever entered the job market. The major barrier to women in the work place, though, was not communal attitude, but somewhat such issues as an elevated unemployment rate and a shortage of part-time jobs. An additional significant sign of social change involved the size and the composition of the family unit. Fewer people are getting married in Spain, and the family structure was changing significantly as well. Clearly, that quality of Spanish cultural ethics is a thing of the past.
