The article highlights a set of measures for state support of families with children as a tool for implementing the social function of the modern Russian state. An overview of specific areas of social activity of the state is given. Special attention is paid to the constitutional duty of the State to protect motherhood, fatherhood and childhood. The article analyzes social payments and other measures to provide material assistance to large families, low-income families, single parents with children, and young families, including regular and one-time benefits and compensation payments, as well as the provision of in-kind benefits. The experience of supporting families with children during the COVID-19 pandemic is considered. The introduction of maternity capital is recognized as the most effective and significant measure in terms of strengthening the property status of families with children. The legislation of the subjects of the Russian Federation in the field of social security of families with children is subjected to a special analysis. It is established that the degree of material security of recipients depends on the socio-economic situation of a particular subject of the Russian Federation. The article substantiates the need to create effective guarantees of the rights of families with children at the federal level on the basis of the highest amount of social benefits provided for by regional legislation. It is concluded that measures for state support of families with children, aimed at stabilizing the demographic situation and overcoming social inequality throughout the country, can be considered as the most important fundamental element of the social function of the state.
