Whose work among the following focussed on the “household dimension” of the family ?
A.M. Shah
A.M. Shah, the Baroda/Delhi sociologist, argued that Indian studies of the 'joint family' had confused two different things: the household (a co-resident, commensal unit) and the wider family as a set of kin relationships.
His work, notably The Household Dimension of the Family in India (1973), based on fieldwork in Gujarat and census data, showed that household composition changes through a developmental cycle, so a household that is nuclear at one point may be joint at another; this disproved the simple thesis that the joint family was breaking down.
Pauline Kolenda is known for her comparative work on regional variation in Indian family structure, S.C. Dube for Indian Village (1955), and K.M. Kapadia for Marriage and Family in India (1955); none centred the household dimension as Shah did.
Hence, the answer is A.M. Shah.
