State family-demographic policy

The article proposes an analysis of features of realization of the state family and demographic policy in Western Europe. The author specifies that the main criterion of productivity of family-demographic policy are its institutional and ideological signs, which depend on historically developed national features of each country. The author emphasizes that an experience of family-demographic policy of such countries in which this policy possesses a wide institutional structure and ideological content, can be useful for modern Russia. However, according to the author, direct copying of foreign experience won't lead to essential results since specific development of each country differently causes efficiency of family-demographic policy.
