Abstract: The topic of family well-being is relevant in the science and practice of management. The relevance is determined by the needs of family and demographic policies in the face of new risks and the lack of discussion of family well-being as an object of effective management influence. The problem of the study lies in the insufficient analysis of the modern scientific foundations of managerial assistance to the well-being of the family. The aim of the article is to propose theoretical (ideal) models of family well-being and personal well-being in the family on the basis of a socio-managerial analysis of the main criteria and indicators of well-being to ensure such assistance. The research methods are based on integrative-complex, interdisciplinary approaches; involve a systematic analysis of the family as a social institution, a small social group, a social microenvironment of personality realization; an anthropocentric approach; analysis of official documents, materials of domestic and foreign studies. The research has shown that the well-being of the family includes material, moral, psychological, socio-political, demographic, legal, value and other objective and subjective indicators. They manifest themselves not only at the institutional, group, individual and personal levels of family interaction, which are inextricably linked, but also in situational and event dynamics. The adaptability and ability to self-preservation of the family in difficult situations are emphasized. The authors point out the importance of objective, socially significant indicators, but emphasize the dominance of subjective indicators, self-perception of the well-being of their family. The study also develops ideas about the possible satiation of goods, an excess of which, like a deficit, can negatively affect the well-being of the family; it indicates the need for personal, family and social efforts to ensure the well-being of the family. Special attention is paid to state support for the institution of the family through management measures, as well as self-management techniques in the family as a small group and taking into account the personal well-being of citizens. The presented views in the socio-managerial analysis of family well-being can be used for a further research in the field of public administration in the family sphere and for improving family government and corporate policy.
