abstract
The purpose of the article is to present reflections on the latest development in the European family policy. In spite of the fact that the individual states do not pursue identical family policies (and a number of varieties could be observed in their legal instruments), it still is possible to trace quite a few common trends. A current family policy tends to adopt a cross-section approach. In the allowance availability, it places various models of family co-existence in equal positions. The effort is to extend freedom in pursuing individua) ways of care for children and its reconciliation with professional career. The aim is to create equal conditions for men as well as women who look after children. Further on, the family policy should recognize the economic potential of a family and it should financially express the family capacity to care for its members in various phases of their life cycle. The family policy should focus on the development of tax instruments, by which all the social groups can be affected and the parents’ role thus appreciated. Social benefits for the low-income families need to be combined with other forms of assistance with the purpose of eliminating the reasons for the low incomes as well as the family’s dependency on the benefits. This should be the primary target of the family policy on the community level. The demographic trends (especially low birth rates) result from profound social changes and the individual instruments of family policy can bring about very limited effects only. However, we ought not to give up in our efforts to perfect them and accommodate to the current changes in family. We should deliberately strengthen the prestige of a family and parenthood in population and popular opinion.
