This study examines changes in family policy by investigating different types of provisions and its configuration of the policy in selected OECD countries. Family policy provision is categorized by its focus on financial support, support for time (ex, leave policy) and service provision. We examined how family policy as a configuration of the three provision types changed in kind and in degree exploiting fuzzy-set ideal type approach. We found 5 family policy type in 2005 and 4 in 2009. Countries with relatively high total spending varies in their kinds of family policy. However, for those countries (the Netherlands, United States, Japan, Italy and Korea) in low level of support in all three aspects remained in the same type suggesting that it will take more time for those laggard countries to change their family policy by kind.
