Abstract
The notion of a national family policy was heavily debated during the Carter administration, but it languished during the Reagan administration. The author reviews the family conditions that fueled the original debate; various points of view, pro and con, concerning a national family policy; and the limits of governmental involvement with families. Recognizing the virtual impossibility of developing a comprehensive national family policy within a society that is extremely heterogeneous with regard to family form and lifestyle, the author proposes a national family policy that focuses primarily on the economic security function of families. In addition, he reviews recent policy developments toward this end.
