There are two domains of family policy, explicit and implicit. Explicit policies are the policies that have specific goals for the family. Implicit policies are policies that are not intended to be a family policy but indirectly affect the family in some way. Family perspective in policymaking is the ability to examine every law, policy, rule, and or regulation for its implicit impact. These impacts typically have to deal with the consequences for the ability of families to be able to perform tasks, performance, duties, and obligations. The five main family functions typically addressed in family policy are: family formation, partner relationships, economic support, child rearing, and caregiving.
