"In the EU, on average, 85% of single parents are mothers aged 25-64 and, in some Member States, single mothers even account for nine per cent of the total female population. The statistics indicate that single-parent households are much more vulnerable to the risk of poverty and its endurance than two-parent households. According to the most recent data available from 2006, 32% of single-parent households in the EU-25 were at risk of poverty as against 12% of couples with children. Furthermore, the gender pay gap, which, on average, is 18% in the EU, widens when women become mothers and continues as such until retirement. I voted for the resolution given this harsh environment for single mothers and the need to support them, especially in the countries where support for single-parent families is non-existent or has decreased alarmingly during the crisis, as is the case in Romania."@en1
