Since the unification of Germany, the federal government has been striving for the establishment of a new social order, which, reflects characteristics of both East and West German societies. Although the goals of the Unification Treaty (1990) on "Family and Women" have almost been accomplished, the government has not yet achieved satisfactory results on the issue of "compatibility of family life and work". This study examines underlying factors which make implementation of the new family policy in unified Germany difficult. First, family policies, which support child bearing and rearing of East and West Germanies, are compared. Second, the extent of the goals, achieved by the Unification Treaty is examined. Third, an analysis is made on the reasons why the issue of "compatibility of family life and work" has not been well achieved.Basically, the difficulty lies in a dilemma. Child care leave and child care allowance have been expanded (1992), but the existing level of the public child care system is insufficient and dose not support this policy. Also, because of the current high rate of unemployment in Germany, mothers are not viewed as an efficient fulltime labor force, even though they may have a high education or similar qualifications.
