Family Policy focuses on the main family activities that are of concern in social policy and social work. This book explores how families behave and questions the implications for policies and practice. Perceptions of and responses to family 'pathologies' - teenage pregnancies, family breakdown, family poverty and violence - are examined. Core issues in family policy are considered, to help students to understand and evaluate the family policies at the hear of Labour's welfare reforms. This will be a valuable text, particularly for HE students with little previous knowledge of

Although critics argue that many of the administration's proposals are misguided, there appears to be a growing consensus that it is appropriate for government to take a proactive view toward public policy and families in American society. This symposium is dedicated to exploring the direction and form this policy should take. (JLN)

Encyclopédie en 3 volumes, 1996 pages ; Over the last two decades, contrary to the pension system, the family policy branch of the Social security system has been immune to cutbacks in provision and no retrenchment measures have been implemented. This mirrors the salience of family-related issues in the social and political agenda. This also reflects the fact that the family branch and its large network of Local Allowance Funds (CAFs) are responsible for the management of welfare state provisions. The family branch is a transfer-heavy system which aims at reducing social inequalities and fighting against poverty. It also provides families with a rich array of universal cash benefits which aim to lighten the financial burden for families irrespective of their income. These measures are successful in reducing the poverty rate among families, in particular lone parent families. Since the seventies, family policy has progressively integrated the 'working mother model' and the range of measures to help working parents has recently been expanded yet again.

Family policy now has greater prominence in UK politics than ever before. These policies are developing in the context of major constitutional change across the UK, which has the potential for significant policy divergence. Devolution has generated greater interest in Scottish family policy, and how its policy processes have been reconfigured. New Scottish legal and policy initiatives with a family focus have emerged from both Westminster and Holyrood. This paper reviews the present context for family policy in Scotland, some recent family policy developments at both UK and Scottish levels of government, and identifies key issues these raise.

The paper presents the development and transformation of the Czech population
policy since the 1950s. It changed from the pronatalist, carried out at a
time when the Czech Republic was part of the communist Czechoslovakia, to
mostly social in the time of the transition from the 1990s, and the
actualization and introduction of new measures in the last decade. The
measures that were defined and implemented over a certain period of time
represented the state?s response to the family and reproductive behavior of
the population, most often reflected in low fertility, largely determined by
the current social, economic and cultural conditions. In this sense, the
period of the greatest challenges came after 1989, with the transformation
of the social and political system and the great economic and social changes
that followed, as well as the decline in fertility to an extremely low
level. At that time, family policy excluded the pronatalist incentives and
benefits and only kept social measures aimed at reducing poverty and
alleviating inequalities. Since the early 2000s, new measures have been
defined and implemented, motivated by the need to stop and change the
declining fertility trend that reached the lowest level (TFR 1.13 in 1999),
by looking at the possible negative socio-economic consequences, as well as
the recommendations and directives of the European Union, member of which
became Czech Republic in 2004. Since 2000, the decline in fertility stopped,
TFR reached 1.43 in 2011 and according to data for 2016, it was 1.63
children per woman.

Constructing typologies or categories of welfare states characterized social policy research during the last decade. Esping-Andersen's Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism (1990) launched an avalanche of typologies. Interest in cross-national comparisons has been facilitated by several attempts to construct theoretical models that could capture or summarize the similarities and differences in contemporary family policies employed in Western industrial countries. However, contrary to welfare state classifications, there is so far very little - if any - empirical evidence at the institutional or the individual level to support any family policy typology. This analysis tries to validate the characteristics of the ideal Nordic family policy model at the outcome level by using micro-data comparisons between countries representing different family policy models. The micro datasets are used to describe the outcomes of family policy models. The unique characteristics of Nordic family policy are based on the country-specific features suggested by earlier research. These characteristics are summarized into six indicators on outcome level, which, in turn, are operationalized and calculated for micro datasets on example countries of different family policy models. We have as our point of reference a limited number of countries with different family policy traditions.
