Families

Family is where people of different generations accept long-term responsibility for one another and in doing so, support and care for each other.

Financial support for families and digitalisation of family benefits

Families require both financial security and support services that are adapted to their needs. The Ministry aims to ensure that families in Germany receive this support and is developing digital access to all family-related benefits.
Family opportunities and participation - supporting diversity

Families are as varied as life itself. The Federal Ministry for Family Affairs is working to put an end to discrimination against people on grounds of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Family Policy in Germany

The Federal Government would like to offer all families good parameters for a successful family life. Family policy measures are focused on three key dimensions: money, time and infrastructure.
Compatibility of family and work

Creating family-friendly living and working environments that allow partners to equally share work and family responsibilities is a priority of modern family policy.
Pregnancy and the desire to have children

Women and men are entitled to seek advice on any matter concerning pregnancy. Pregnant women in financial distress can get support and help is available for couples with an unfulfilled desire to have children.
