Abstract	Emerging from two graduate seminars designed to increase the involvement of home economists in public policy, this publication includes course outlines, models, and papers on selected issues concerning family-related government policy. The structure and requirements of the two seminars, held in 1978 at the University of Kentucky, are described. A number of concerns which Kentucky home economists defined as the most important foci of their profession are listed, including: (1) education and media; (2) health, welfare and development of human capital; (3) family planning; (4) income and employment; (5) taxation; (6) housing; (7) energy resources; and (8) knowledge available to families. Models for increasing the political participation of home economists, for developing public policies related to families, and for evaluating family-related policy are presented. In addition, brief papers are included on the following issues: (1) government subsidization of programs to alleviate child abuse; (2) responsibility for financial support of children with divorced parents; (3) the use of Federal Medicaid funds for abortion; (4) the role of marital status in determining income taxes; (5) the encouragement of intentional communities; (6) the implications of energy conservation on industrial growth and family life; (7) Federal tax credits for energy-saving home improvements; and (8) mandatory retirement. Finally, seminar participants are listed and a bibliography of resources is provided. (GC)
