Follow-up to the thirtieth anniversary of the International Year of the Family and beyond

The resolution follows up on the 30th anniversary of the International Year of the Family (2024) and urges continued action to strengthen family-oriented policies as part of sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda. It highlights how major trends—technological change, urbanization, migration, demographic shifts and climate change—are affecting families, and stresses the need to protect families, especially those in vulnerable situations, from poverty, exclusion and crises. 

It calls on States to expand family-friendly measures such as decent work, social protection, affordable childcare, paid parental/sick leave, flexible work, and parenting education, while addressing gender inequality and the disproportionate burden of unpaid care work on women. It also promotes intergenerational solidarity, bridging the digital divide for families, and requests a UN report on progress for the 82nd session of the General Assembly.
