Russians have long loved the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity, celebrated on July 8, 2008. There is also an international family day. It has been celebrated since 1993, the date of the holiday is May 15.
The first International Year of the Family was announced by the UN in 1994. The year 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of this event worldwide. Since the end of the 20th century, the governments of many countries began to conduct events in their states dedicated to the "Year of the Family."
Over the course of 12 months, increased attention has been paid to families, many issues have been addressed regarding couples and children. Most relevant, of course, are the social support measures that are provided to families.
The United Nations emphasizes the importance of every family for the establishment and development of modern society. Anniversary events will help to identify the main vectors of development of social policy in relation to families.
Within the framework of the “Year of the Family” -2014, the problems of poverty of families, their social inequality, excessive employment of parents at work, as well as support and interaction between families will be closely studied.
In today's world, traditional family values are becoming more demanded than ever. Raising children in the family, love and care of parents make the future of society more predictable and resistant to geopolitical and economic challenges.
The instability of today's world is largely due to the weakening of families, the depreciation of close family relationships and the relationship of children with parents. With the loss of cultural traditions, many states lose their moral foundations.
Only in strong families can healthy and strong children grow, this fact has long been proved by psychologists and doctors. But the life of a modern family is highly dependent on the state of the economy and state support.
Russian families in 2104 are waiting for a number of long-awaited changes. They expect an increase in the amount of payments for children and an increase in maternal capital. Payments to large families will increase. All children born in these families in 2013-2017 will be assigned benefits for up to 3 years.
It will be possible for young parents to take a home loan with a compensation of 40% of the cost of housing. In some regions, payments are provided for the lack of places in kindergartens.
Stories tend to move in a spiral. The current return to family values is very timely and simply necessary in order for tomorrow to become stable and peaceful. Today's kids have to become parents themselves and create their own families, so any “Year of the Family” and everything related to it is so important.
