Which of the following is an example of family policy?

• A. Parental leave, child care subsidies, tax credits, and welfare support
• B. Corporate tax shelters for high earners
• C. Zoning policies restricting family housing
• D. Student loan interest deductions for unrelated individuals

Answer: (A)

Family policy refers to government actions designed to support families and children, such as paid leave, affordable child care, tax relief for families, and welfare programs. This example fits best because these measures directly help families manage the costs of raising children, enable parents to participate in the workforce, and provide income support that can reduce child poverty. The other options don’t target family life in the same way: corporate tax shelters benefit corporate finances rather than family well-being; zoning policies are about land use and housing patterns rather than directly supporting families; and deductions for student loan interest for unrelated individuals affect education financing rather than family-specific support.
