"This report addresses the situation of single mothers, particularly in the current socio-economic context, which is exacerbating the problems and the attacks on the dignity and living conditions of mothers and children. Single-parent households live in situations which entail a greater risk of poverty, as the rapporteur herself states: 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, access to essential foodstuffs for their children or the family home. We therefore believe that this report falls short of the measures that are necessary, as jobs urgently need to be created, along with decent wages; with respect for the right to maternity leave, especially in terms of labour legislation; with the creation and maintenance of networks of state-owned and state-managed crèches, nurseries, and schools; and with free health services and health care for mother and child."@en1
