"The draft report covers three aspects of the situation of single mothers. The threat of poverty is the most serious aspect, in my opinion. The report includes five-year old data showing that 32% of single parent households are affected by this serious problem. It can be expected, of course, that this number will be higher due to the economic situation. I firmly believe that single mothers do not often get into these difficult situations through their own inaction. I know from experience in the Czech Republic that the main causes of economic difficulties is the failure of the other parent to pay child maintenance and the lack of support for single mothers on the labour market; in other words, reduced opportunities in terms of finding employment, a lack of flexible arrangements or the small number of places that are available in nurseries and the cost of these. The urgent need to support single mothers can also be seen from the fact that poor living conditions transfer to the children, for whom it is difficult to escape from the vicious circle. Their chances of getting a decent education and a job are diminished. I am pleased that the European Parliament is paying serious attention to this topic."@en1
