- Description
- Sole mothers have lower paid work participation rates than partnered mothers, lower superannuation savings and are less likely to own their own home. This article uses data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health to examine the economic well being of sole mothers and to investigate the contribution of paid work participation to economic well being.
