The problem of value orientations of the younger generation, including family values, attracts considerable attention of researchers, since they form the core of values of young people, occupying leading positions in the structure of basic value orientations. A certain type of relationship and upbringing is built within the family circle where traditions and life experience are passed on. The study of family values of young people seems to be an urgent task in the context of ongoing socio-economic and political changes in Russian society and the transformation of family values of contemporary youth. The article, on basis of the results of the author's sociological research (2018–2019, 2020, 2020, 2023), reveals the dynamics of basic family values among the youth of Russian regions and considers family traditions, attitudes to marriage, the birth of children and the motives for creating a family. The research materials indicate the importance of the family in the structure of the basic values of young respondents. Despite the fears of a crisis of marriage and family, expressed in the absence of the need for official registration of relations, postponement of the appearance of the firstborn, changing the traditions of the family from basic to modern ones, the respondents still demonstrate a desire to formalize the relationship in future and aim having the firstborn. At the same time, young respondents are primarily looking for emotional connection, comfort, support and love in their future life partner. Young people plan to achieve financial stability and be confident in the future before becoming parents. The current socio-economic state of Russian society needs to preserve the institution of family and marriage with traditional family values.

The analysis of the recent changes in the legislation concerning family rights and family policy in Poland contains two parts. The first one will reflect upon legal obligations of public authorities towards families stemming from the Constitution and legal acts. The second one is devoted to an analysis of the recent changes in family-related legal provisions and their evaluation in context of both human rights guarantees and the influence on the welfare of families. ; Olaf Szczypiński

This open access handbook provides a multilevel view on family policies, combining insights on family policy outcomes at different levels of policymaking: supra-national organizations, national states, sub-national or regional levels, and finally smaller organizations and employers. At each of these levels, a multidisciplinary group of expert scholars assess policies and their implementation, such as child income support, childcare services, parental leave, and leave to provide care to frail and elderly family members. The chapters evaluate their impact in improving children's development and equal opportunities, promoting gender equality, regulating fertility, productivity and economic inequality, and take an intersectional perspective related to gender, class, and family diversity. The editors conclude by presenting a new research agenda based on five major challenges pertaining to the levels of policy implementation (in particular globalization and decentralization), austerity and marketization, inequality, changing family relations, and welfare states adapting to women's empowered roles.
