Abstract

During 2023, the Russian State Social University conducted research work on the analysis of the system of state support for family, 
motherhood and childhood in Russia, as well as in the countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), 
in the post-Soviet space, as well as in the BRICS and BRICS+ member states. The purpose of this article is: firstly, a brief summary of 
the results obtained and, secondly, the formation of recommendations for improving the Russian practice of state support for the family, 
motherhood and childhood. The authors analyzed in detail the legal, financial and organizational principles of policy in the field under study, 
separately presenting the unique Russian experience of introducing maternal (family) capital. The analysis made it possible to establish that 
state support and protection of the family, motherhood and childhood is implemented through tools that differ in terms of functions, forms and 
directions of action. However, the use of these tools within the framework of strategic planning documents is insufficiently comprehensive 
and does not have a single goal setting. In this regard, it seems reasonable to combine and implement all existing instruments of state 
support for the family, motherhood and childhood within the framework of an independent national project. It is also advisable to study the 
issue of the system of practical implementation of this policy in the structure of a special state institution.
