Support programs for families and children in European union

Abstract

Outline of the support programs for families and children in European Union, its context, underlying objectives and measures, is the aim of this paper. Given the diversity of European family policies, this overview offers insight into current situation in the area of family policy and highlights the need for greater harmonization and better coordination of national legislation in this area. One part is dedicated to the impact of economic crises on the family and repercussions that it had on the family policies of the member states.

Prikaz programa podrške porodici i deci na nivou Evropske unije, konteksta, ciljeva i mera koji se nalaze u njihovoj osnovi, predmet je ovog rada. Imajući u vidu diverzifikovanost evropskih politika porodice, ovaj prikaz pruža uvid u aktuelno stanje u sferi porodične politike i ukazuje na potrebu za većom harmonizacijom i boljom koordinacijom nacionalnih zakonodavstava u ovoj oblasti. Jedan deo posvećen je i uticaju ekonomske krize na porodicu i reperkusijama koje je ona imala na porodičnu politiku država članica.
