two parent vs oneHow the traditional two-parent family is at higher risk of poverty than a single parentTraditional families, where the mother stays at home while her husband works, are more likely to face poverty than single-parent families, Government researchers admit. A single mother who goes out to work receives more through the tax credit system on average than a working parent who also has a partner to support. Of nearly 6,000 families surveyed, 13 per cent of those headed by a single parent with a job had poverty-level incomes, according to the findings, published by the Department for Work and Pension. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/a...rty-thanks-tax-credit-system.html |

Well, I'm a single parent family....just me and my 14 year old daughter ( I have three other children elsewhere, all are maintained by me I should say) but I don't feel better off in any way. |
