520 _aIn Germany today, an adjustment modernization with regards to France and to the European Union occurred in a family policy that was conservative until then. The two reforms that characterize this change — forced extension of childcare equipments and the reform of parental allowances — are analyzed from the angle of a correlation (or not) of family policies and gendered equality on the one hand, and restructuring of the famous “conciliation” on the other hand, and finally from the angle of inspiring birthrate that is notably low among academics. The results are mixed. What is innovative is orientation of “conciliation” towards the needs of active mothers and reinforcement of men 's roles as fathers. Deficits articulate among selectivities of male-female equality strategies, focused on well-off households with two professionally active parents, which conceals social inequalities. In the end, the conflictual mix of various models — the active mother goes along with the father who supports the family — and the “normative indetermination” create a breach in the concept of male-female equality.
