It presents some preliminary results of the 2015-2018 Action Plan for delivering the first part of the Russian Federation State Family Policy Concept 2025 and proposes further steps to fully implement the Family Policy Concept. Empirical base of this article consists of the data from the Federal State Statistics Service, including the Statistical Survey of Income and Participation in Social Programs (2016), Oomprehensive Monitoring of Living Conditions (2016) as well as The Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS- HSE) (representative samples of2009 and 2016).
