translate English to French: The task of politicians is to make sure that, as a matter of principle, the decision in favour of children does not lead a disadvantage and that all means are distributed fairly between the generations and the sexes, as well as between persons with and without children.
Etant donné que la famille est une notion d'ordre privé et que les liens qui s'y instaurent et les décisions qui s'y prennent sont de nature personnelle, les politiciens n'ont qu'une influence indirecte sur celle-ci.
