Family-Oriented policies and programmes

As this new century begins, family–oriented policies still lack a specific direction, a well demarcated sphere of action and a clearly defined basis of legitimacy. In designing such policy measures, policy–makers have to deal with a variety of stumbling blocks, including the trade–offs existing between family and individual interests and the difficulties involved in balancing individual autonomy and liberty with family responsibilities. Emphasis on the legal dimension of programmes in this area appears to be leading towards a new concept of the family within a context of human rights.
