Abstract
The article analyses recent development in families and social policy-making. First, a succinct review is carried out on programmes and policies since the times of transition to democracy (late 1970s). Subsequently, political initiatives and legislation put forward by PP (1996-2004) and PSOE (2004- ) Governments are examined contrasting the approaches taken by both main Spanish parties. Among the concluding remarks it is pointed out that the articulation of a framework for family protection is still pending in Spain�s social protection system. It should guarantee the universal individual rights of family members and uphold the primary social function that families provide for social welfare.
