Family policy has been proposed to have three components:

Family legislation

Social services targeted to families and

Income transfer to families (Wennemo, 1992).

It was suggested that since the mid-1990s, there had been several steps undertaken towards an integration of social policy in the European Union. But there had been noted reluctance in many countries, and nationals to go further.
