single mother poverty in the us

Currently, twenty-three percent of families in the United States are headed by female single parent households. Thirty-six percent of these families fall below the poverty line. The United States was founded mostly on the idea of traditional two parent families. U.S. capitalist economy and social insurance infrastructure was built to benefit that model. Single mothers are many times stigmatized. Gender wage bias and oppressive social welfare structure contribute to perpetuating the poverty cycle. This presentation will look at the history of family structure, work and work benefits, education, institutionalized oppression and social welfare programs in relation to what it takes for a single mother to get out of poverty today in the United States.
