Families

Family is where people of different generations accept long-term responsibility for one another and in doing so, support and care for each other.

  • Families require both financial security and support services that are adapted to their needs. The Ministry aims to ensure that families in Germany receive this support and is developing digital access to all family-related benefits.

  • Families are as varied as life itself. The Federal Ministry for Family Affairs is working to put an end to discrimination against people on grounds of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
