Abstract :This study aims to identify the intellectual structures, thematic outputs, and research trends in the field of family policies. Based on 1,396 publications from the Web of Science database, the analysis conducted using the R program bibliometrix-biblioshiny shows an annual growth of 7.97% and an average of 24.1 citations per contribution. The United States and Germany are the leading countries in terms of publication output; Thevenon, Neels, and Misra are among the most productive authors, while Gauthier and Mandel have the most local citations. Significant journals include the European Journal of Social Policy and Community Work and the Family. Thematically, labor relations and gender issues dominate; the focus shifts from macro-political debates to micro-political analyses of gender-specific care work.
