Raising a Child Alone
Raising a Child Alone is an essential work for understanding the complex realities and invisible challenges faced by single parents. Built on the most recent data (2024-2025), this book explores a global panorama in which nearly one in four American children lives with only one parent and single parent families account for 12 % of European households. It highlights the explosion of births outside marriage, the increase in divorces and the racial disparities that exacerbate precariousness.
In a clear and rigorous style, the author analyses the economic pressures (sky high childcare costs, care deserts, low incomes), the mental health challenges (stress, loneliness, postnatal depression) and the employment difficulties that single parents encounter. Each chapter offers concrete examples, testimonies and courses of action : public policies to advocate for, self care strategies, building support networks and practices that foster resilience.
This book provides keys to transforming isolation into solidarity and to building a society that recognises and supports all families. By reading it, you will contribute to a major social justice cause and discover how, together, we can improve the lives of single parents and their children.
