The increasing share of older people in the demographic structure of society, the increasing instability of family and marriage relations, the transformation of the traditional family model in the context of global social and natural changes – this is not a complete list of factors that affect the institution of the family. The phenomenon of old age, including the elderly family, is a complex ideological problem of the value of life.Demographic aging requires a special infrastructure focused on meeting the social needs of people over 65 years of age. Such modernizations primarily concern the sphere of health and social services. Together with various types of social services, conditions are created that ensure the active longevity of elderly citizens. Family development is based on the social and personal needs of a person. In modern Russia, there is instability and transformation of family relations, which, in our opinion, is an indicator of crisis phenomena in its development, as well as institutional changes. Statistics for 2018 in Russia show that 65 % of marriage relationships have broken up, whereas 70 years ago, divorce was rare. And the forecast is quite negative, under such circumstances, there will be more and more divorces every year. And all the more valuable is the role of families who have a long family history and life experience. Their accumulated family values, proven over time, can help strengthen the institution of the family, preserve its significance for society and the individual, especially in the harsh conditions of life in the Arctic, when mutual assistance and mutual support becomes even more meaningful for a person.
