"This report addresses the situation of single mothers and some of the problems they face. These problems are inseparable from the current socio-economic context, which is dominated by serious attacks on the dignity and living conditions of mothers, particularly working mothers and children. As the rapporteur says, single-parent households are at greater risk of poverty. In 2006, 32% of single-parent households in the EU were at risk of poverty, as against 12% of couples with children. This risk is increasing significantly at a time when unemployment is rocketing, wages are under attack, benefits are being cut, and restrictions are increasingly being placed on access to public services and social protection, which, in some cases, forces mothers to put their children into care, as they are no longer able to guarantee basic living conditions.
In view of this, we believe that this report falls short of what is necessary in relation to employment with rights; to decent wages; to respect for the right to maternity and paternity leave in labour legislation; to the creation and maintenance of networks of state-owned and state-managed crèches, nurseries, and schools; and to free health services and health care for mother and child."@en1
