Modern family and demographic policy of the Russian Federation as a condition for preserving the traditional values of Russian society

Relevance . In the modern world order, the family as the foundation of society is now under threat due to new values that push it into the background. Destructive ideas (the fashion for childlessness, same-sex marriage, etc.) disrupt its functioning and transform the family structure. Meanwhile, the family preserves and transmits values to new generations, and a break in continuity leads to a loss of social unity and an increased value crisis. These processes require philosophical reflection and the search for solutions. The purpose is to identify the features of social support for the family in Russia as a condition for preserving the national values of Russian society. Objectives : to reveal the features of the development of family policy in the context of socio-demographic changes; to identify the nature of the impact of socio-demographic development, political and economic changes on family policy; to explore the main directions and measures of modern family policy in Russia and abroad. Methodology . The research was conducted on the basis of an interdisciplinary synthesis of theoretical positions of philosophy and sociology, using general scientific methods of comparison, analysis and generalization. Results . A comprehensive analysis of demographic and family policy has been carried out, revealing the main problems and prospects for its development in Russia and abroad. The key disadvantages are identified based on the study of domestic and foreign experience. The generalization of the identified errors emphasized the importance of protecting traditional values that ensure the development of the family institution under the influence of destructive ideas that transform family relations. Conclusions . One of the most important factors in overcoming the value crisis in Russian society is the preservation of a traditional family with a strong marriage, many children and continuity of generations, since only such a family can preserve values and streamline social relations. This is facilitated by a comprehensive demographic and family policy, including financial support, affordable housing, and expanded social services to boost fertility and strengthen families, as well as policy adaptation to changing social conditions.
