Germany’s Work/Family Policies
In Germany today, the general governmental attitude towards work/family policy is one of individuality. In other words, the government of Germany, through its work/family policies, stresses that services should not be centralized. This belief also comes through in the fact that no universal implementation policy exists in Germany. Each individual German state is left to generally make its own decisions and implement their own policies. However, in recent years, largely due to its role within the European Union, Germany has established a few integrated policies that relate to work/family issues.
- Early Childhood Education and Care
- Family and Child Allowances
- Child and Family Tax Benefits
- Child Support Policies
- Other Policies
