"Presently, five per cent of European women are single mothers. The economic and financial crisis has affected the entire European community, but women have been especially hard hit. Furthermore, recent studies show that the impact has been even more severe on the large majority of single mothers in their prime working years.
The problem of single mothers must not be overlooked. The high unemployment rates among them strongly affect the education and care of the dependent children of single mothers. In fact, these children have fewer resources to succeed in education, thus creating fewer opportunities to enter the workforce at a competitive level. Therefore, I share the rapporteur’s concerns and her determination in tackling the issue.
The inequalities that single mothers face in Europe should be combated through concrete actions such as investment in and promotion of research into the issue, including making use of the newly created European Institute for Gender Equality. As soon as their research findings are available, in my view, Member States should initiate dialogues with other Member States to share best practices in the implementation of European policies for solving the problems encountered."@en1
