"Single, divorced or widowed mothers aged 25 to 64 represent five per cent of all women in the EU, and come from all socio-professional categories. This particular group is often neglected by public policy in the Member States and socially stigmatised. The purpose of this report is for the Member States, together with the EU, to take concrete steps in the areas of education, health, employment, social security and housing, so as to reduce the associated risks of poverty, social exclusion, and difficulties reconciling work and family life. There is a need to adapt public policy to different models and family situations. According to 2006 data, 32% of single-parent households in the 25 EU Member States were at risk of poverty, as opposed to 12% of couples with children. This is linked to the interruption of studies and the acquisition of vocational skills, to the lack of school infrastructure for children at affordable prices and with timetables compatible with the working day, and to social stigmatisation in some European societies. I believe we must work together and identify best practices amongst the Member States as a matter of urgency, while creating specific support measures for this vulnerable group."@en1
