Single Parents Living in Poverty on the Rise

 

If you are a single parent struggling with finances you are certainly not alone, according to research by the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

They estimate that poverty rates for single parents will practically double between now and 2020 – less than four years from now.

“It is shameful that in a country as wealthy as Britain, almost half of children in single parent households live below the poverty line”, says Fiona Weir, chief executive at Gingerbread.
