This study aimed to analyze family policy in Iran, focusing on the Family Support Law and the Population Youth Policy. The research was conducted using a qualitative content analysis approach with interviews with ۲۰ experts in family policy, public administration, and population studies. The findings indicated that the main challenges facing families and policy implementation are economic, cultural, and institutional barriers. Economic challenges include reduced income, inflation, high living costs, and unemployment. Cultural barriers involve traditional attitudes, cultural taboos, and insufficient family education, while institutional problems include weak coordination among organizations, bureaucratic complexity, and managerial resistance.

On the other hand, policy opportunities include successful programs, family education, and legal facilities, which can mitigate the effects of barriers and increase policy acceptance. Theme network analysis revealed that the interaction between economic, cultural, and institutional barriers significantly affects policy effectiveness. Utilizing the available opportunities can enhance the implementation of the law and increase family participation.
