Local alliances for family

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Local alliances for families are local alliances of various social actors who make concrete agreements to improve family-friendliness and put their ideas into practice. Local alliances for families exist in Germany at the municipal level on a similar basis to the Local Agenda 21 . It is about bundling the potential of citizens , associations, businesses, educational institutions, politics and local government in order to better meet the needs of families today. The alliances are funded by the European Social Fund and the Federal Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth . The Local Alliances for Family initiative is part of the “Alliance for Family” initiated by the federal government, the leading business associations and the trade unions.

“We want to help women and men realize their ideas about life. The vast majority want both professional success and children. (...) Politics does not have to dictate how people should live, but rather to create framework conditions so that young people - as they want - can choose children and families. "
