독일에서 가족은 전후의 산업화과정 속에서 다면적인 사회변동을 경험하면서 형태적 측면과 내용적 측면에서 다양화와 탈제도화 그리고 개인화의 경향이 강해지는 현상을 보이게 되었다. 이러한 변화과정 속에서 가족은 저출산문제, 보육문제, 역할분담을 둘러싼 갈등, 빈곤과 실업, 노인부양문제 등과 같은 다양한 문제와 직접적으로 당면하게 되었다. 특히 1980년대 후반부터는 통일을 전후로 하여 약 10년간에 걸쳐 저출산문제가 심화되면서 가족문제는 중요한 사회정책이 슈로 부각되기 시작하였다. 이러한 현상은 근대적 가족주의에 기반한 가족의 복지정책의 개선에 대한 사회적 요구를 증대시켰고 그로 인해 독일 가족복지정책은 인구변화로 인해 발생되는 가족의 복지욕구를 수용해야 한다는 과제를 떠안게 되었다. 본 연구는 1950년대 이후부터 현재에 이르기까지 독일에서 시대별로 각 집권정당들은 다양한 가족쟁점들을 어떠한 관점에서 수용하여 정책의제화하고, 이에 대한 대응전략으로써 어떠한 정책방안들을 발전시켜 왔는가 하는 과정적 전개양상을 문헌연구방법을 통해 분석함을 목적으로 하였다. 연구를 통해 획득된 결과는 다음과 같다: 독일의 가족복지정책은 가족쟁점의 변화에 따라 1인 부양자모델의 확립기, 취업모 지원과 가족의 다양성에 대한 정책적 수용기, 보육정책의 확대기로 구분될 수 있으며, 그 과정에서 체계화된 정책 프로그램은 소득지원, 양육 및 교육지원 그리고 노인부양가족지원 프로그램이 핵심을 형성하게 되었다. 이러한 프로그램들의 발전은 정책이 1인 부양자모델에서 2인 부양자모델로 연속적으로 변화되는 양상을 반영하고 있다는 점에서 가족문제의 해결책을 모색 중인 우리나라에도 시사하는 바가 많다.

This article analyzes individualization of family policies and gender division of unpaid work in Germany, Netherlands and South Korea. Measured in terms of women's employment promotion, the individualization at the policy level was greater in Korea than both Germany and Netherlands. However, married women's share of unpaid work was substantially larger in Korea than Germany and Netherlands. The strong unequal divison of unpaid work was also the case among working married women. Regression analysis showed that share of unpaid work in Korea was related to relative income in all three countries. But while gender ideology was positively related to married women's share of unpaid work in Germany and Netherlands, the relationship was not found in Korea. Gender of respondent was also an explanatory factor for all three countries. The influence of married women's relative income and gender ideology on share of unpaid work was similar to or larger than the effect of gender of respondents in Germany and Netherlands. By contrast, it was gender of respondent that mattered most for married women's share of unpaid work in Korea. Among working married women, we found that both relative income and gender ideology were related to differences in share of unpaid work in Germany and Netherlands which was either similar to or larger than the effect of gender of respondent. However, we found that gender of respondent mattered most in Korea.

Traditionally, Germany, a conservative welfare state, has pursued a male breadwinner model based on gender division of labor. For a long time, Germany tried to address low fertility through economic support centered on cash benefits, but it was not successful. In 2007, the German government began to shift the paradigm of family policy for work-life balance under the slogan of "A mix of time policy, income transfer, and infrastructure." When the issue of low birth rates emerged as a national concern in Germany, there was a growing social sentiment that not only the government but also private companies should contribute to increasing fertility by providing family-friendly personnel policies and working conditions. Private companies have been voluntarily improving family-friendly working conditions beyond legal obligations, aiming to secure personnel and prevent turnover. Germany's fertility rate is currently rising toward the European average level in 2023, which can be attributed to the government's work-life balance policies and the participation of private companies. In terms of improving work-life balance policies in Korea, it has been proposed to change the perception of the need for fathers to participate in child care, to make parental leave compulsory for men, to guarantee employment for women after childbirth, to expand child care facilities, and to revitalize family-friendly policies in companies.

Under the principle of subsidiarity, the German family policy formed in the 1950s and 1960s minimized the role of the state while maximizing the role of the parents. The German Constitutional Court, however, ruled that the level of compensation for the financial burden of child support costs must follow the basic rights, not the principle of subsidiarity. The Federal Constitutional Court has taken the duty of protecting the human dignity of the state under Article 1 of the Constitution as the starting point of the judgment. The Federal Constitutional Court held that the dignity of a child is guaranteed only if the level of the child's allowance or deduction is equal to or higher than the level of the child standard benefit under the Social Assistance Act established by Congress. The Federal Constitutional Court also regarded the state to compensate parents for child support costs as much as the level of child standard benefit under the Social Assistance Act as a family protection obligation of the state under Article 6, Section 1 of the Constitution. In addition, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled that the right to equality declared by Article 3 of the Constitution can be realized by compensating all parents for child support costs at the level of child standard benefit under the Social Assistance Act.
