Compliance of the Goals of Modern Family Policy with the Development Processes of the Modern Family

Abstract

The article analyses the legislation of the Russian Federation and several developed countries in the field of marital and family relations, as well as the goals and directions of the development of the social institution of the family within the framework of strategies and concepts approved by the state. The article presents data and opinions of researchers on the current state and forms of family relations. Hypotheses about the crisis of traditional family relations, nuclearisation and atomisation of the family are considered. The authors conclude that the attempts made to correlate the goals of state demographic and economic policy with the achievement of social justice are not effective in the absence of a full-fledged and functioning set of mechanisms for supporting the family institution in legislative and executive practice, taking into account the trends existing in society to abandon the accepted understanding of the family.
