The Situation of
European Single Mothers
Currently 5% of
Europe's women are single mothers. Single motherhood is often falsely
stigmatised as consisting of only irresponsible teenagers, while in truth the
vast majority of single mothers are between the ages of 25 and 64. Besides the
general situation, the draft report analyses the employment of single mothers,
their risk of poverty and the issue of combining family and professional life.
