One in five Australian families with children under 15 years of age is now headed by a single parent, and the numbers are growing. Relationship breakdown, unexpected pregnancy, death – the reasons for single parent households are clear, but the challenges can be varied and complex. Lone parenting is different in a number of ways to being in a two-parent household and it can have its difficulties. This book explores the changes and challenges for the parents and children of single parent households, and confronts the myths about single parent families. In particular, the book addresses the emotional impacts, financial costs and the issue of welfare dependency. How do we support children and young people through separation and divorce? Although most single parents are mothers, shared care time is now becoming an increasingly common arrangement – what is the involvement of fathers in raising their children? How do you get the balance right in co-parenting arrangements, for the wellbeing of both parents and their children?

Muchos ven la participación del gobierno en la política familiar, como una respuesta a las preocupaciones populares de que la familia estadounidense se encuentra en un estado de crisis. Una de las principales preocupaciones de las familias "frágiles" (como las monoparentales, normalmente con la madre al frente), es económica: las tasas de pobreza de las madres solteras son varias veces superiores a las de las familias biparentales. La privación económica durante el crecimiento se ha relacionado con una mala salud física, una capacidad intelectual reducida y un bajo rendimiento académico. Algunas ciencias sociales sostienen que el matrimonio es la solución a muchos de los problemas asociados con las familias monoparentales. Otros expertos creen que los programas gubernamentales diseñados para aumentar las tasas de matrimonio pueden causar más problemas de los que resuelven (es decir, violencia doméstica, divorcio, etc.). La propuesta explora cuestiones relacionadas con las familias frágiles desde diferentes perspectivas sobre las causas y consecuencias de este problema. Este libro está dividido en secciones que cubren las perspectivas jurídicas y teóricas, las causas y consecuencias del bienestar de los hijos y el aspecto de la importancia del padre para las "familias frágiles".

Single-parent families succeed. Within these families children thrive, develop, and grow, just as they do in a variety of family structures. Tragically, they must do so in the face of powerful legal and social stigma that works to undermine them. As Nancy E. Dowd argues in this bold and original book, the justifications for stigmatizing single-parent families are founded largely on myths, myths used to rationalize harshly punitive social policies. Children, in increasing numbers, bear the brunt of those policies. In this generation, more than two-thirds of all children will spend some time in a single-parent family before reaching age 18. The damage done in the name of justified stigma, therefore, harms a great many children. Dowd details the primary justifications for stigmatizing single-parent families, marshalling an impressive array of resources about single parents that portray a very different picture of these families. She describes them in all their forms, with particular attention to the differential treatment given never-married and divorced single parents, and to the impact of gender, race, and class. Emphasizing that all families face significant conflicts between work and family responsibilities, Dowd argues many two-parent families, in fact, function as single-parent caregiving households. The success or failure of families, she contends, has little to do with form. Many of the problems faced by single-parent families mirror problems faced by all families. Illustrating the harmful impact of current laws concerning divorce, welfare, and employment, Dowd makes a powerful case for centering policy around the welfare and equality of all children. A thought-provoking examination of the stereotypes, realities and possibilities of single-parent families, In Defense of Single-Parent Families asks us to consider the true purpose or goal of a family.
