Single mothers and child care

Abstract

Study of the models for reconciling demands between family and work in the case of single mothers. There are several reconciliation profiles: one centred on the support of the family, another on adapting the timetables of the mother and her children, another on paid informal services and yet another based on the management of multiple informal and formal supports. Lastly, there are situations, associated with the vulnerability of poor mothers, where reconciliation is impossible.
