"In a society where the concept of family is changing, we must pay appropriate attention to the difficulties encountered by single parents, both women and men. However, the pay gap means that the situation is more difficult for single mothers. In European societies, the methods deployed to resolve this issue vary from assistance provided by the extended family to highly developed national social protection systems. However, the threat of poverty remains, with the risk of it persisting in future generations and providing fewer chances for these children to be successful in life. In addition, the social stigma attached increases the risk of children being abandoned. Possible solutions call for medical care to be provided to single mothers on incomes below the national average and the provision of accessible housing and child care networks in crèches and day centres so that the mothers can continue their careers. Furthermore, suitable unemployment allowances for single mothers can help provide a decent life for these single-parent families. I feel that the concept of social entrepreneurship is similarly useful. This is a business which tackles a social issue in different areas and involving a variety of target groups. This provides personal and professional added value to the vulnerable individuals who are employed, while also generating profits for the company."@en1
