"Single mothers are a frequently neglected demographic group, currently comprising five per cent of women in Europe.
With the negative impact of the economic and financial crisis, in addition to the high unemployment rate among single mothers, poverty entails severe consequences for children being raised and looked after by single mothers.
Member States must adopt public policies, including policies relating to education, care provision, health care, employment, social security systems and housing, to support the needs of single-parent families. Easier access must be provided – by funding through the European Social Fund (ESF) and Member States – to basic training, vocational training and bursaries for single mothers (unmarried, widowed or separated), and young pregnant women must be encouraged not to stop their education, since it will enable them to obtain qualifications and maximise their chances of having decent working conditions, getting well-paid jobs and gaining financial independence.
Member States must ensure that all allowances (maintenance payments) from non-custodial parents are paid regularly and take into account the gender factor, especially the situation of single mothers during the reform of their pension systems."@en1
