This bachelor's thesis deals with the social needs of single mothers in Tabor. The aim of this thesis was to map out the social needs of single mothers in Tabor - to find out what social needs single mothers have and to identify key problems in fulfilling these needs. Two research questions were established: 1. What are the needs of single mothers? 2. What are the key problems in fulfilling their social needs? To achieve this goal, a qualitative research strategy was chosen, using the method of questioning and the technique of semi-structured interviews. The research sample, which was selected by purposive sampling, consisted of single mothers living in the city of Tabor. Interviews were conducted with a total of 6 communication partners. The information obtained was then processed using open coding in the Atlas.ti program. Two categories were created from the processed data. The research results showed that the communication partners have several social needs on which they agree. These include the need for social contact, social support, financial autonomy, and safety and security. The results also revealed that communication partners often share the problems that prevent them from fulfilling their needs. The main problems are lack of time, balancing work and family life, and finances.
