Th e family, its conceptualization and functioning, as well as family policy
are discussed at the personal, community and state level. Th is makes sense because
diff erent cultural, historical, ethical, social and other alternations aff ect the assessment
and evaluation of these three signifi cant components. Besides family policy is a very
important part of public policy in a state, what makes obvious impact on every human
life (even those who are living not in a family).
Th e aim of this article is to shed light on theconcept of family, family functioning and
family policy as three mutually interacting components in a unifi ed narrative.
Th e object of study is the concept of family, family functioning and family policy
from the perspective of its content.
Th e research methods employed include analysis and design of scientifi c literature
and documents.
Th e article analyzes the defi nition of family, paying particular attention that diff erent
authors present various defi nitions of families. Although these defi nitions focus on different
aspects of families (e.g. marriage, community, the continuity of the nation, etc.),
it is shown that in each country the concept of a family is regulated by laws, by which
regulations (and other legal documents) are prepared. Th e legal concept of a family
in Lithuania is still not entirely clear. Th e concept is not defi ned in the Constitution
and marriage is not indicated as an obvious attribute of being a family. Meanwhile,the
FamilyPolicyConcept(2008) clearly defi nes a family,indicatingthat marriage is necessarily
between a manand a woman.
Th e recognition of families only by marriage has raised many discussions among
politicians, particular public interest groups and private individuals in Lithuania. Th ese
discussions became even stronger when the Constitutional Court stated that the FamilyPolicyConcept(2008) contradicts the Constitution of Lithuania. Having in the mind,
that the implementation of family policy in Lithuania is fragmented, lacks a unitary
system, including the absence of an offi cial institution responsible for family policy (this
function is currently delegated to Th e Ministry of Social Security and Labour), the implementation
of family policy is legislated andimplemented without correct procedures.
Following the concept of family, family functing and family policy analysis, it can be
stated that the concept of family and its functions is diff erent. Th ey are both infl uenced
by diff erent views from scholars’, politicians’ and other particular persons’ or groups’
regarding marriage, as well as socio-cultural, political and other factors.
Th e variety of family conceptions encourages debate, which should not persist and
interfere with the formation and implementation of State family policies. Th e concept
of family, family functions and family policies are considered as three mutually interacting
components. Based on this, the tools of appropriate and thoughtful family policy
implementation can be formulated and developed.
Family policy in Lithuania is not yet suffi ciently formulated in both conceptual and
realizable levels. For that reason it is necessary to do a comprehensive study in order
to provide a basis for implementing new family policies based on that study. Likewise,
to develop the concept of family and family function, it is necessary to formulate an
Educational Policy Concept and to implement its strategies, designing the tools for its
implementation in the context.
