The Economic Situation of Single Mothers
Kalačová, Michaela ; Vlček, Josef (advisor) ; Dudová, Radka (referee)
Approximately 250 thousand single-parent families, mostly mothers as principal breadwinners, are currently living in the Czech Republic. The insufficient financial security means an important limitation of these families, partly caused by the worsened situation of single mothers at the job market. The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to find out what the financial situation of single-parent families in the Czech Republic was in 2018. I took advantage the official statistics of the Czech Statistical Office and the Czech Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, which enabled me to carry out a secondary data analysis and find out what the economic situation was in single-mother families in 2018 and how it evolved since 2008. I compared the data with the data on nuclear family, which made me more comprehensive picture about the economic situation of single-mother families, which has improved over the years 2008 - 2018. Keywords: economic situation, single-parent families, single-mother, incomes, expenses, the Czech Republic
