The Status of Single Mothers

With the support of the government, women, especially single mothers feel shameful. Women in the status of welfare are often treated badly because they think they are institutional. Taxpayers feel that single mother seems to be unable to support their poverty from a welfare perspective only for greater welfare checks. They often think that these women will not work, but rely on the government to give life. I know a mother who is fit for this stereotyping; adults still live in their parents' house, borrowed a free home, and have several children from several fathers.

Unscheduled illegal pregnancies can expose these women to the risk of social or family exclusion. Single mother status limits opportunities for that career and, more generally, it impairs opportunities for success (Ojwang SB and Maggwa AB, 1991). When there is unwanted pregnancy, there is a tendency that "abortion is necessary" (Bankole A. et al., 1999), but the real cause behind the abortion is also raised.

Melvin Wilson believes that the role of mother in her family composition of African American depends on her dating situation. According to Wilson, among married families of most African Americans, the role of the mother is primarily the responsibility of her family. According to Wilson 's survey, married Families of African - Americans do not play a separate gender role in family services compared to white families. Mothers and wives are responsible for all family services around the house. According to Mr. Wilson, married mother's work at home is said to be a full-time job. This full-time domestic responsibility is usually the second job for African-American women. The first job was an 8 hour working day for her daily work outside the house. Wilson also pointed out that the mother's responsibility to the married family determines the satisfaction of the whole family's life.

Melvin Wilson said that 94% of African American parents will play a single mother role among African American families. Brown believes that a single maternity in African-American culture is more "positive". According to Melvin Wilson's survey, 62% of single women of African-American women are not divorcing, adopting, or just marriage. In this position, we believe that African American single mothers will play the role of mother and father. The role of single mother is similar to the role of married mother, but single mother is more responsible to take care of family responsibility and full-time job.
