Government policies are often formulated, implemented and evaluated without considering their effects on families. Understanding Family Policy provides the conceptual tools which enable students and professionals to examine and analyze governmental policies and related issues - and therefore to participate more effectively in the political process through which such policies are formulated.

Exploring the connections between family policies, individual and family well-being and political culture, this volume examines several research projects and concludes that their results challenge the view that governmental social programmes in the United States have been detrimental to family life. The results also clarify the relationship between states' political cultures and the kinds of family policies enacted. Additionally, Zimmerman provides guidelines to aid the development of a policy agenda designed to enhance the well-being of individuals and families - regardless of where they live.
