Lone Mothers Between Paid Work and Care: The Policy Regime in Twenty Countries: The Policy Regime in Twenty Countries

This is a study which compares and contrasts how lone mothers' relationships to paid work and care-giving are constructed across 20 countries, and with what outcomes for lone mothers' levels of economic well-being.

In doing so, the book explores from an international perspective, the implications of the re-orientation of lone mothers' citizenship within the UK policy field from that of care-giver to paid worker.
