The subject of this paper is family policy and family support systems in the Republic of Croatia. At the beginning, the definition of family and family policy are presented, as long as some certain demographic changes that families in Croatia are going through and their impact on the family. This is followed by the historical development of family policy through the 4 most important phases in which the institutional foundations of today's family policy have been laid and which in recent years, after accession to the European Union, has changed in accordance with the acquis. After that, narrower measures of family policy are defined, and those are child allowance, maternity and parental leave, tax relief and early preschool education services. Each of the measures is explained what it is consisted of, certain statistical data are presented, and the key problems they are dealing with. After narrower family policy measures, the role of local and regional units in family policy is mentioned, as long as the measures that are financed from those units. Finally, there is talk of support provided to families during the Covid-19 crisis, a crisis that has hit the whole world and is still current, and which mainly consisted of making some recommendations for action, rather than some effective systematic support.
