Abstract:
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact in various fields. Parents have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially single mothers. The challenge for single mothers who have children aged 6-12 years during the COVID-19 pandemic is accompanying children to study at home. Single mothers who are not used to accompanying children to study will cause a burden. The pressure experienced cannot be tolerated, because single mothers must rise in order to survive and adapt. Previous studies have shown a very good picture of the resilience of a single mother because it reaches a stage that corresponds to the aspect of resilience. Other studies have found that parents who accompany school children at home during the COVID-19 pandemic have low resilience. However, a study on single mothers with low economic levels who have children aged 6-12 years during the COVID-19 pandemic has never been done. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the resilience of single mothers with low economic levels who have children aged 6-12 years during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This research is qualitative research with a phenomenological study approach. The research location is in a district in city of Salatiga, Indonesia. Participants were five single mothers who were selected using a purposive sampling technique with inclusion criteria having children aged 6-12 years with low economic levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data is collected by conducting in-depth interviews. The data were analyzed using the Colaizzi method. Results: The results of the research resulted in six themes, namely 1) Mother received support from siblings and biological family; 2) Mother had to work hard to make a living; 3) Relieved in accepting the situation; 4) Mother's independence to live life; 5) Mother's patience to control anger; 6) Mother came, prayed and thanked God Conclusions: Single mothers who have children with low economic levels aged 6-12 years had resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACT The purpose of writing to know the causes of single mother, the impact and efforts of single mothers to overcome these impacts, using qualitative research methods with phenomenological approaches that highlight the life of single mothers. Results showed that the causes of single mothers were economic stress, domestic violence, death of a spouse and infidelity. The impact, although single mother condition is not expected but this condition also has a positive impact on cases that harm women (domestic violence and infidelity). The negative impact experienced besides psychic then financial condition becomes the impact that most affects single mother. The efforts of single mothers to overcome the negative impact sparked by reorganize their family life after becoming a single mother, motivating themselves to stay strong and spirited by thinking positively and optimistically, in addition to organizing the family economy in the field of trade and beauty services, where the main priority of single mother is educating, raising her children and meeting the economic needs of the family, in addition to the support of large single mother families is very influential.

Abstract:
The transformation of the structure of social ideas about marriage and family relations in general and the structure of the modern family has been considered through digital technologies. The problem of the growing number of single mothers has been raised. Statistics for 20 years have been provided. The influence of several factors on the growth dynamics has been analysed. The influence of women`s emancipation, availability of remote work and the image of successful bloggers on changing the fields of social representations of modern unmarried women about single motherhood has been examined. One of the main reasons for changing the attitude of women to the image of single mother, namely the appearance of a new image-”solo-mom”, which is actively used in the digital environment, has been considered. Communities and groups in the social networks Vkontakte, Facebook, Instagram and Odnoklassniki, dedicated to supporting single mothers, have been studied. Blogs of single mothers who position themselves as “solo-mothers”, have been reviewed. The results of an empirical study aimed at identifying a factor that affects the change in the system of views and attitudes of unmarried women in the transition zone and the periphery have been presented. The responses of respondents received in 2014 and 2019 by the free Association experiment have been analysed. The respondents answers were divided into three categories: single mother status, status assessment, qualities of the single mother’s personality. The results of a comparative analysis of women’s social perceptions about single motherhood for the period from 2014 to 2019 have been presented. Based on the results obtained, conclusions about the change in perceptions of single mothers over the past 5 years, the emergence of a new image of a single woman with a child – “solo mom”, have been made.

Abstract:
Single mothers have difficult conditions that can trigger emotional experiences, such as supporting their own families, energy and time constraints, negative views of society, and the vulnerability of single mothers as women in terms of emotions. This makes it thought that single mothers need to have the ability to survive and have the quality to bounce back during the condition by regulated emotions. The study aims to explore the influence of emotion regulation, specifically cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression strategies, in helping single mothers increase resilience. The study used quantitative research methods, with the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 25 items. The results found that there was a significant influence between both emotional regulation strategies on single mother resilience, with cognitive reappraisal strategies exerting a greater influence. Single mothers need to practice expressive suppression emotion regulation strategy skills, so that single mother resilience can be more optimal when single mothers are able to apply each emotional regulation strategy adaptively to their difficult conditions.

Abstract:
This quantitative study sought to explore the effects of single parenting on childcare in Masvingo urban, Zimbabwe. The cross-sectional survey design was adopted in the study. A standardised questionnaire was used as the data collection instrument. A sample of 47 single mothers residing in Masvingo urban was selected using stratified random sampling. Data were analysed through descriptive statistics. Findings of the study revealed that single mothers were labelled as having loose morals and had suffered from a mental disorder at least once before. Single mothers were moving frequently in search of better-paying jobs and cheaper accommodation. This study further revealed that children raised by single mothers did not have behavioural problems but, however, had emotional problems. The study recommended that a comprehensive study covering a wider geographical area be done to enable generalisation of results to a wider population. The study further recommended that policies that support single mothers in their endeavours to support the children be enacted. Keywords: Single mother, childcare, Masvingo.

Abstract:
The growing number of divorces and separations induces the frequency of single mothers facing challenges in the mainstream socio-economic realities in Bangladesh. Past studies focused on structural aspects, economic hardship, and psychological issues of single mothers, mainly in the urban context. Nevertheless, the challenges in rural settings vary from urban single motherhood, and this aspect remains understudied. This qualitative narrative aims to analyse the challenges of single mothers in rural settings in Bangladesh. Twenty-eight in-depth interviews and ten key informant interviews were conducted using semi-structured interview guidelines. Thematic analysis identified four major themes of the rural single mothers’ challenges, social, economic, cultural, and psychological, leading a single mother to become dependent on other family members or relatives. The underlying factor of the challenges was the deprivation of property, patriarchal social structure, and social stigma. Rural single mothers face more complex challenges than urban ones because of the lack of income opportunities, insecurity, and self-dependencies. Findings will contribute to recommending and formulating a policy for the single mother considering the local realities of the rural single mothers in Bangladesh.

Abstract:
In this article I explore the emotional resources activated by single mothers to support their adolescent children’s educational journeys. Mothers’ emotional work is often regarded as something that mothers must do (Gillies, 2006). However, this view does not recognise the power and influence that mothers exert to create opportunities for educational success. By centring the mother as the head of her family and drawing on the concept of emotional capital as a legitimate and valuable resource within single-mother families, it becomes possible to show how mothers in a low socio-economic community invest in their children’s schooling. This article is based on a qualitative case study of single mother families from a South African community. The findings show that the single mothers maintained strong bonds with their children, which enhanced perceived support and contributed positively to their education. Maintaining open communication channels, demonstrating authoritative parenting, and communicating pride in non-academic qualities were significant emotional practices that served to maintain these strong bonds. By engaging in these practices, these single mothers from low-income contexts activated their emotions strategically to support their adolescent child’s education.

Abstract:
AbstractObjectiveBeing a single mother may have implications for health behaviours that can also affect the child. More information about the food intakes and body weights in singlev. married/cohabiting mothers and in their children is needed. Psychological dimensions of eating behaviour and self-esteem are also of relevance to explore for single mothers and their children.DesignFood style patterns were assessed by self-reported consumption of fruits, vegetables, sweets and soft drinks. Eating behaviour was measured by the Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire and self-esteem by the Harter self-perception scale. The participants were 1781 mothers and their 12-year-old children, of whom 278 mothers (16 %) were single.ResultsSingle mothers had lower intake of fruits and vegetables and lower self-worth compared to the married and cohabiting mothers, controlling for age, education and BMI. Although single mothers did not have a higher BMI, their daughters were heavier than girls from complete families. Daughters to single mothers furthermore had a higher intake of soft drinks, higher levels of restrained eating and lower self-worth. No such difference was found for the boys.ConclusionsA lower sense of self-worth and lower intake of fruit and vegetables in single mothers could be seen in the context of the social disadvantages and less social support. Girls may be more inclined to be affected by family status than the boys, seen in a more unfortunate psychological pattern and a higher body weight. Boy’s health behaviours may be more unaffected by living in single families.

Abstract:
Introduction and Objectives: It is well-documented that single mothers in sub-Saharan Africa face unique psychosocial challenges which can lead to child health and developmental disadvantages, often impacting life trajectories for both the mother and child. Years of instability, conflict, and widespread poor governance within the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have resulted in magnified challenges for parents, making it more difficult to provide supportive and effective parenting. To address gaps in knowledge regarding the specific challenges experienced and adaptations made among single mothers raising children in contexts of adversity, the present study aimed to investigate the phenomenon of single mother parenting in the DRC. Methods: Cognitive Edge SenseMaker, a mixed-method data collection tool, was used to collect self-interpreted narratives among parents in eastern DRC. Quantitative SenseMaker data were uploaded into Tableau, a data organization and analysis tool, to visualize differences in response patterns between single mother (n = 263) and two-parent family study participants (n = 182). Single mother micronarratives (n = 251) were then coded line-by-line and analyzed thematically. Qualitative themes identified in the single mother micronarratives were used to facilitate a deeper and more nuanced understanding of key quantitative SenseMaker findings. Findings and Conclusions: Our study found that single mothers experienced immense challenges raising children in the DRC, including financial-, health- and parenting-related hardships. Single mothers described negative emotions and higher levels of household adversity while providing for their children in situations of extreme poverty compared to two-parent family respondents. Self-reliance was exhibited among most single mothers in an attempt to overcome challenges, primarily financial barriers, and to prioritize the health and well-being of their children. However, many children still lacked access to sufficient food, education, and healthcare. Limited governmental and social security support for single mothers was identified as contributing to heightened challenges and the self-reliance observed among single mothers. Findings emphasize that additional research and attention should be directed towards identifying the specific needs of, and available resources for, single mothers in different localities in an effort to inform policies and programs that best support families.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article interrogates how employees at single-mother associations in Morocco construct the mère célibataire (single mother) as an archetypal, aspirational figure. Based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork (2013–15), this article traces how counselors work with single mothers to imagine alternative maternal futures. I argue that by invoking a counternarrative I call “aspirational maternalism,” single-mother advocates disrupt traditional maternalist rhetoric that excludes single women. Aspirational maternalism draws on moral discourses and neoliberal values of independence and responsibility. Through its deployment, counselors create affective space for single mothers to think beyond pathologizing portrayals of single motherhood in Morocco. Counselors also disrupt the neoliberal focus on calculated, self-interested action by centering “the mother-child couple” within aspirational maternalism. The ideal-typical Mère Célibataire is capable of achieving the transformation from victim to self-sovereign mother. And yet, aspirational maternalism elides the significant structural obstacles to independence that single mothers face.

Abstract:
This research aims to understand the experiences and meanings of the career women's role within themselves as single working mothers. Career women who are single mothers face unique challenges in juggling between their professional responsibilities and their role as single parents. This study focuses on their interpretations of this dual role and how it affects their identity as career women and single mothers. The research method used is a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with a number of single mothers who also work. The collected data were analyzed using an interpretive approach to identify themes and patterns that emerged in their experiences and interpretations. The results of the study indicate that career women as single mothers experience complex struggles in fulfilling this dual role. They try to integrate the roles of being a mother and a worker by finding the right balance between these two responsibilities. Additionally, they also experience additional pressure and stress in facing social expectations that are often unrealistic. Their interpretations of this role are also related to their identity and self-esteem. Some respondents feel proud to fulfill both of these roles, while others feel burdened by the high demands. There are differences in how they integrate the identities of being a career woman and a single mother, with some respondents emphasizing one role more than the other. This research provides deeper insights into the experiences and meanings of career women as single working mothers. The findings of this study can be useful in the development of policies and programs that support women in fulfilling this dual role more effectively. Additionally, this research can serve as a basis for further studies in this domain that can provide more detailed information about the challenges and strategies that can help career women as single working mothers.

Abstract:
This study examines whether mother’s marital status predicts involvement in a particular type of criminal activity. Data were obtained from a survey of 249 male inmates, and interview with Senior Officers in two prisons in Osun State, Nigeria Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the relative risk of committing a crime against property, crime against persons and victimless crime. The interviews were content analyzed. The majority of the respondents committed crime against property, and 40% were from single mother households. The inmates whose mothers never married, divorced or separated were at a higher risk of committing a crime against property than victimless crime, compared to inmates whose mothers were in a union (RRR 4.45 p<.05). Relative to respondents from two-parent homes, respondents whose mothers were widows were less likely to be involved in crimes against property and persons than victimless crime (RRR 0.19 p<.01). The significant association between mother’s single marital status and involvement in crime against property is suggestive of a link with large financial strain. To curb crime against property and persons and victimless crimes in Nigeria, there is need to pay attention to the marital status of mothers and empower women to strengthen the welfare of children in both the intact and disrupted families

Single mothers are often perceived and depicted as being ineffective parents in comparison to their married counterparts, but this may not always be the case. A sample consisting of 245 children (72% in married mother families and 28% in single mother families) between 10 and 12 years (M = 11) including 64% females and 36% males participated in the study. The aim in this study was to compare children's perceptions of their mothers' parenting within single and married families. The results indicate that mothers were perceived as using more autonomy-supportive than psychologically controlling parenting practices. There were no significant differences between children's perceptions of maternal parenting in single and married families.

Abstract:
A single mother family is a family in which there is only one parent, the mother, who cares for her children without the help of her husband since they have separated. This separation might be the result of death or divorce. This makes the life of a single mother more challenging, resulting in life difficulties.The goal of the literature study is to examine the living situations of single mother families in which the mother is the sole provider. Methods:A literature review is conducted on the basis of data collected from many papers and journals.Articles were gathered using the search engine Google Scholar.The requirements for articles are those published between 2015 and 2020.According to the report, the living conditions of single mothers are harsh; they face pressure and demands that make it impossible for them to fulfill their responsibilities. In light of the fact that single mothers have a more difficult existence than those with intact families, it is expected that they are more capable of overcoming obstacles and maintaining family life.

Abstract:
This research aims to understand and describe the issues or problems faced by unmarried single mothers and strategy coping. Unmarried single mother is a woman who has a child because of a pregnancy outside of a marriage that is legal under customary law or government law. Problems in unmarried single mothers can be divided into three aspects; social, economic and psychological aspects. The research questions posed in this study are what are the issues or problems faced by unmarried single mothers? Second, what is the effect of these issues or problems for unmarried single mothers? Third, how the coping strategies are applied by unmarried single mothers. This study involved two participants aged 27 and 28 years who are single unmarried mothers living in Yogyakarta. The data collection methods used were semi-structured interviews and observation, while the data analysis method used was in the form of analysis with a case study approach. The results showed that both participants had the ability to solve problems or coping strategies when in difficulty when becoming a single mother unmarried. The coping ability applied by both participants to face difficult situations and conditions is not much different because some of the problems faced are almost the same, as well as economic, social, and psychological problems that occur to both participants.

Abstract:
After the 2010 intercommunal violence in Kyrgyzstan, women in the city of Osh were exposed to many difficulties. Conflict eroded people's contentment, and satisfactory living conditions were supplanted by increased challenges—such as deteriorating health and education systems, declining communication and economic opportunities, and the loss of property. Men's deaths during the conflict and the increased labor migration of men after the conflict also resulted in increased numbers of single mothers. This article presents trends among women, examines their coping mechanisms, and explores the well-being of single mothers by considering what makes women's lives meaningful in a postconflict situation.

The authors conducted exploratory interviews with eight older single mothers. Results suggested that current media representations of “single mothers by choice” may oversimplify the experiences of many women by ignoring the context of gender relations within which both women and men's decisions regarding contraception, pregnancy, and parenthood “produce” single motherhood.

Abstract:
Introduction: Previous research has shown single mothers to be at greater risk for both physical and mental health disorders as compared to married mothers. Psychiatric disorders, in particular depression, have been shown to be more prevalent in single mothers than married mothers. This study was aimed at comparing the prevalence of depression, other mood, and anxiety disorders in single and married mothers in a multiethnic Asian society. Materials and Methods: The Singapore Mental Health Study (SMHS) was a cross-sectional survey of the representative population of Singapore. The survey targeted Singapore residents aged 18 years and above. Trained interviewers established the diagnoses of mental disorders using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview version 3.0 (CIDI 3.0). Physical illnesses, social support and sociodemographic correlates were established using structured interviews. For the purpose of this study, single mothers were defined as unmarried, divorced/separated/widowed mothers who had children aged 21 years and below. Results: Face-to-face interviews were completed with 6616 respondents from December 2009 to December 2010. After controlling for sociodemographic correlates in multiple logistic regression model, single mothers had significantly higher odds of having mood disorders (OR = 5.28) as compared to married mothers. Conclusion: Our study found that single mothers in Singapore across ethnicities, experienced a higher risk for mood disorders as elsewhere in the world. Single motherhood was also associated with lower age and education. Our study identifies young, single mothers as a vulnerable group associated with mental illnesses that must be targeted with specific interventions to improve mental health and well-being.

Abstract:
Life satisfaction research regularly identifies single mothers as relatively unhappy. This comparative study refines this view by assessing how broader institutional and cultural contexts shape the life satisfaction of single mothers. Using data from the European Social Survey for 24 European countries, this study shows that generous family benefits, extensive child care provision, and high levels of gender equality are associated with smaller life satisfaction penalties for single mothers, whereas societal attitudes toward single motherhood are not related to the life satisfaction of single mothers. Overall, the life satisfaction gap between single mothers and childless singles is substantially smaller than that between single mothers and partnered mothers. Moreover, single women residing in countries with supportive family policies and high levels of gender equality report similar levels of life satisfaction than childless singles. This latter finding challenges the notion that single motherhood inevitably reduces women’s life satisfaction.

This study examines the relationships of single mothers’ assets (home ownership, bank account ownership, automobile ownership, and net worth) and human capital development (educational advancement, work hours, and job-related training) to their economic mobility. Analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79) indicates factors that could help improve the upward economic mobility of single mothers include their assets, educational status and advancement, and work experience. Mothers’ assets were also positively related to their educational advancement, job training participation, and work hours. Furthermore, it appears that the relationship between mother's assets (automobile ownership and net worth) with economic mobility was partially mediated by work experience. These results support investment strategies to enhance the long-term economic well-being of single mothers.

A single mother is not an option in a woman’s life. When you become a single mother, there will be changes in the family, including changes in the roles and duties that single mothers in raising children must bear. Including how to apply rules, teach values and norms, give attention and affection, and show good attitudes and behavior to become examples or role models for their children. Therefore, research related to how the dynamics of a single mother apply the parenting style that she gives to her children is fascinating to study. The subject of this research is a single mother who has one child. The study results found two themes, namely the role of parents and knowledge about parenting. In addition, there are also several impacts of inconsistent parenting related to children’s behavior. Children tend to be temperamental, irritable, and have weak emotional control.

Abstract:
This study investigates the impact of employment status and work conditions on the quality of the home environment provided by single mothers of preschool-age children. Multivariate analyses were conducted using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. The results indicate that employment status is not a significant predictor of the quality of the home environment among single mothers of young children when family size and welfare use are controlled. Among single working mothers, several job conditions were related to the quality of the home environment. Single mothers who were employed part-time and in low-wage jobs had significantly poorer home environments. Single mothers who work nonstandard hours generally have poorer home environments, with the exception of rotating shifts. These findings highlight the importance of examining the effects of employment status and job conditions on within-group differences in the quality of the home environment among single-mother families.

This study aims to find out the interpersonal communication between single mothers with their children with disabilities in Aceh. The research used symbolic interaction theory with a qualitative descriptive approach. The subject of this study was a single mother who has children with disabilities studying at SMALB YPPC Banda ACEH, selected using a purposive sampling technique. To collect data, the researchers deployed semi-structured interviews on three single mothers who have children with disabilities and observations of their interpersonal communication with their children. The results showed that interpersonal communication of single mothers and children with disabilities varies depending on the child's condition. Many mothers used non-verbal communication especially with deaf children and spoke slowly so that their children could easily understand. In the communication process, single mothers often faced obstacles to get feedback which sometimes caused misunderstandings. The quality of communication, in general, is good because the children demonstrated openness, empathy, support, and positive attitudes in communicating with their mothers.

Abstract:
AbstractStudies 1 and 2 investigated how maternal severe mental illness (SMI) related to mothers’ mind–mindedness (appropriate and nonattuned mind-related comments). Study 1 showed that mothers with SMI (n = 50) scored lower than psychologically well mothers for both appropriate and nonattuned comments, whereas mothers with SMI in Study 2 (n = 22) had elevated levels of nonattuned comments. Study 2 also tested the efficacy of a single-session video-feedback intervention to facilitate mind–mindedness in mothers with SMI. The intervention was associated with a decrease in nonattuned comments, such that on discharge, mothers did not differ from psychologically well controls. Study 3 assessed infant–mother attachment security in a small subset of intervention-group mothers from Study 2 (n = 9) and a separate group of standard care mothers (n = 30) at infant mean age 17.1 months (SD = 2.1). Infants whose mothers completed the intervention were more likely to be securely attached and less likely to be classified as insecure–disorganized than those of mothers who received standard care. We conclude that a single session of video-feedback to facilitate mind–mindedness in mothers with SMI may have benefits for mother–infant interaction into the second year of life.

Abstract:
Adolescents' relationships with parents, siblings, and friends were examined as a function of family structure and maternal employment. High school subjects responded to questionnaires indicating, for each relationship, rate and affective intensity of conflicts from the previous day, as well as amount of social interaction. There were no differences between adolescents with full-time, part-time, and nonemployed mothers in reports of conflict or social interaction. Conflict affective intensity was unrelated to household structure, as were levels of social interaction. Subjects in single mother households indicated more conflict with mothers than those in two-parent families, although levels of conflict with single mothers were equivalent to the total number of disagreements that adolescents in two-parent families experienced with both parents. Adolescents in single mother households also reported higher rates of conflict with siblings, but not friends. The results do not support views that adolescents with single or employed mothers have more contentious or distant relationships than their peers.

Abstract:
Reform of the U.S. welfare system in 1996 spurred claims that cuts to welfare programs effectively incentivized single mothers to find employment. It is difficult to assess the veracity of those claims, however, absent evidence of how the relationship between welfare benefits and single mother employment generalizes across countries. This study combines data from the European Union Labour Force Survey and the U.S. Current Population Survey (1992-2015) into one of the largest samples of single mothers ever, testing the relationships between welfare generosity and single mothers’ employment and work hours. We find no consistent evidence of a negative relationship between welfare generosity and single mother employment outcomes. Rather, we find tremendous cross-national heterogeneity, which does not clearly correspond to well-known institutional variations. Our findings demonstrate the limitations of single country studies and the pervasive, salient interactions between institutional contexts and social policies.

Introduction: Strategies and interventions must be customised according to particular needs as well as circumstances and provide service under the Yojana in order to decline the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) as well as Infant Mortality Rate (IMR). As a result, service packages must be created for mother and her newborn. Therefore, the aim of this study was to increase mother's knowledge by providing a self-instructional module about the Janani Shishu Suraksha Yojna (JSSY). Methodology: A quantitative approach of single group, pre- post-test research design were used in this research. Using a purposive sampling technique, the researchers chose 80 pregnant women to participate in the study. Results: The findings show that the average knowledge score before the intervention was 17.65±1.3, and after the intervention, it increased to 25.63±0.85. Antenatal mothers' knowledge score improved considerably between the pre- and post-tests (p0.05). The pre-test knowledge scores were not significantly associated (p>0.05) with any prenatal mothers' demographic factors. Conclusion: Present research highlights that antenatal mother's knowledge towards JSSY is much needed among antenatal mothers for better and safe care of both mother and newborn.

Abstract:
Women in rural Madura prefer to live alone as a widow after being left by husbands (divorced/deceased). This phenomenon is better known as a single mother. The single mother women perform dual roles in the family, namely public roles and domestic roles. This research focuses on the causes of women who prefer to be single mothers as well as their strategies in maintaining resilience in the family. The case study approach and qualitative methods are used to understand the phenomenon. The data show that several factors influence women in Ponteh village to live longer as single mothers than men after getting divorced. Firstly, wanting to raise their children, secondly, for women, divorce is a traumatic event, third, understanding of Islamic thought, fourth, social prestige. The resilience of single mothers is indicated by their multiple roles as women. Women are more active in productive activities as well as reproductive or domestic activities. The contribution of this article is to explain more about the single mother phenomenon in rural Madura.
