As a result, the following conclusions are formulated. First, in Russia today there is no single legal definition of the concept of "family", and the circle of family members in different branches of legislation is defined in different ways. For a long time, the term "persons with family responsibilities" also remained undisclosed. However, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation presented a list of individuals with family responsibilities. Secondly, with respect to persons with family responsibilities, a significant range of legal regulation features has been established, aimed to creating opportunities for reconciling family and work and eliminating discrimination. Thirdly, the main areas of discussion on the specifics of the regulation of work of persons with family responsibilities relate to the scope of the guarantees provided, the extent to which they fulfill the set goals, and the extension of a greater range of guarantees to the fathers of children.
