"On 24 October 2011, Parliament’s plenary debated the report on the situation of single mothers. The report contains many interesting findings and ideas on improving the position of single mothers. The report states that five per cent of European women are single mothers. They are burdened, above all, with a high level of unemployment and the cyclical nature of poverty, which affects their children’s access to education. Poor access to education means fewer opportunities to enter the workforce at a competitive level. The health status of single mothers is also statistically more unstable than those of mothers in dual parent families, Often, they cannot afford adequate medical care or proper rest. Statistically, single mothers throughout Europe are less educated then their married counterparts.
I personally consider the ideas for measures making use of experience from other Member States highly useful: the introduction of lower tax on food for single mothers or the provision of tax relief and incentives for companies providing child care facilities in workplaces and crèches, enabling single mothers to work whilst their children learn and are looked after. For the reasons mentioned above, I have supported the report."@en1
