Abstract
Research background: The restrictions introduced by nation states to overcome the spread of the COVID19 pandemic had a negative impact on the situation of families with children due to lower incomes of the population, increased unemployment, and reduced opportunities for using social infrastructure (education, health, culture and sports). In order to overcome the consequences of the restrictions introduced during the COVID19, national states proposed various support measures not only for business, but also for the population, especially for families with children. Purpose of the article: The purpose of the article is to conduct a comparative analysis of government support measures for families with children aimed at overcoming the socio-economic consequences of COVID 19, using the example of the Russian Federation and a number of countries in Europe and Asia. Methods: as the main research methods are the analysis of documents, the analysis of statistical data. Findings & Value added: The analysis presents systematic data on measures of state support for families with children in various European and Asian countries. It is concluded that these measures are of a monetary nature (in the form of direct payments), and non-monetary nature (in the form of guarantees, benefits, material assistance of various kinds). At the same time, the question of the effectiveness of these measures to restore the socio-economic situation of families with children during and after СOVID19 remains controversial.

Summary
Most states at the national level were forced to take restrictive measures for the social and economic activity of social actors. The imposed restrictive measures have caused an unprecedented economic crisis, as a result of which the socio-economic situation of billions of people around the world has significantly deteriorated. A UN report says the poverty rate could rise by 420-580 million people - the first increase in three decades - with 70-100 million at risk of falling back into extreme poverty [2]. In such conditions, families with children remain one of the most vulnerable categories. Research problem faced by the authors: to systematize information on support measures for households with children for further analysis
