"This report focuses on the situation of single mothers in the EU. The rapporteur outlines all sorts of problems that single mothers face, including interruption of their education, poor health, unemployment and a higher risk of poverty – in fact 32% of single-mother households in the EU-25 were at risk of poverty, as against 12% of couple-based households.
Many Member States also fail to meet the Barcelona target of providing child care for at least 33% of children aged under three, thus making the situation for single mothers even worse. The report suggests that Member States should take a more progressive approach and ensure access to child care facilities for up to 50% of children aged under three, and 100% of those in the three-to-six age band.
It also invites the Commission, while developing programmes such as Progress and Equal for the next multiannual financial framework, to consider awareness-raising programmes for promoting greater participation by certain economically fragile social groups, including single mothers. It proposes tax reductions to companies that employ single parents and provide child care facilities. The report is very important and I supported it."@en1
