Abstract
<jats:p>The authors note that contemporary demographic shifts (declining birth rates, rising average marriage age, growth of single-parent families, transformation of traditional family roles) pose serious challenges for state policy. Beyond mere reaction, the state must proactively create conditions to strengthen marriage and provide comprehensive family support. The chapter examines implementation mechanisms of family policy through financial instruments (benefits, allowances), legal frameworks (marital and family relations regulation), and social measures (educational programs, psychological assistance). The analysis focuses on key performance indicators of state family and marriage policy – fertility rates, divorce statistics, marriage dynamics, and family satisfaction with support measures. Drawing on comparative analysis of domestic and international experiences, the study develops specific recommendations for improving state authorities' activities, including enhancement of the legal framework and introduction of new interagency cooperation formats.</jats:p>
