Description

Product Description Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Single parents face a triple bind of inadequate resources, employment, and policies, which in combination further complicate their lives. This book - multi-disciplinary and comparative in design - shows evidence from over 40 countries, along with detailed case studies of Sweden, Iceland, Scotland, and the UK. It covers aspects of well-being that include poverty, good quality jobs, the middle class, wealth, health, children s development and performance in school, and reflects on social justice. Leading international scholars challenge our current understanding of what works and draw policy lessons on how to improve the well-being of single parents and their children. Review This excellent collection addresses the `triple bind' of inadequate resources, employment, and policies for single mothers, and what this means for well-being. A thoughtful and innovative analysis. --Jane Millar, University of Bath An excellent contribution: evidence and insight from top-notch analysts on one of our most important and difficult policy challenges. --Lane Kenworthy, University of California About the Author Dr. Rense Nieuwenhuis is an assistant professor at the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI) of Stockholm University.
