Perhekohtaiset

Perhekohtaiset is a Finnish compound adjective meaning "family-related" or "pertaining to families." It is formed from perhe (family) and kohtainen (pertaining to) and inflects to agree with the noun it describes, for example perhekohtaiset edut, perhekohtaiset tarpeet, or perhekohtaiset palvelut. The term is commonly used in public administration, welfare, social sciences, healthcare, and marketing to distinguish considerations that apply to family units from more general or individual-focused ones.

In policy contexts, perhekohtaiset etuudet refer to benefits tied to family status, such as child benefits, tax credits related to dependents, parental allowances, or family-based subsidies. In research, perhekohtaiset tekijät denote variables tied to family structure—family size, composition, parental status, care obligations—and their influence on outcomes like income, education, or health.

In business and marketing, perhekohtaiset tarjoukset or perhekohtaiset palvelut describe products and services tailored to family needs, for example flexible childcare options, family insurance packages, or discounts for households with children. The term is neutral and descriptive, and while it indicates a focus on families, more precise wording may be preferred in certain contexts (for example perheeseen liittyvä or perheen ominaisuuksiin perustuvat tekijät).

Notes: The adjective form perhekohtainen modifies a singular noun (perhekohtainen etu) or its plural form (perhekohtaiset edut). The concept is primarily linguistic and contextual, serving as a useful label across policy, research, and commercial discussions to signal family-related scope.
