Abstract:
There has been a transformation in family structure in Thailand due to the changes in economic and social structures over time. Though not recorded in census data the rise in single-parent families can be expected due to a rise in divorce rates, that have been recorded, over the past decades. However, the literature on single-parent families is limited and little is known about the experiences of single-mothers and children of singlemother families in Thailand. This study examines the factors that have major impacts on the well-being of children of single-parent families in Bangkok, Thailand. A qualitative methodology was employed to study the lived experiences from the point of views of 20 divorced single-mothers and 20 adult children from a different sample of divorced single-mother families in Bangkok, Thailand. Altogether 40 semistructured interviews were conducted in Bangkok, Thailand during June and July of 2010. Three theoretical frameworks, including family and household decision making theories, the life-course perspective, and the family composition perspective were applicable in this study to provide an understanding of how economic and social structures play an important role in the dissolution of marriages and how family composition plays an important role in the well-being of children. The findings of this study shed light on the lived experiences of participants and revealed the important factors that influence the well-being of children of single-mother families. The major factors include financial resources, parenting styles and discipline, and social supports. In addition, this study has implications for developing programs to assist and facilitate the well-being of single-parent families, strengthening the relationship within extended families, and eradicating the negative assumptions that are often associated with single-parent families.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 141-142).
This thesis poses the question of how we are to house the family of the future. The concept of the strictly nuclear family as a backbone of our civilization is disintegrating under the onslaught of careers, of divorce, of teen pregnancy, and of abusive home life. Though many of these trends are deplorable, there are cases in which the decision to be a single parent is a constructive one. But, whether voluntary or not, the situation of the single parent is a difficult one. Single parenthood entails the combination of roles and tasks usually shared by two adults. A child who lives with only one parent has fewer resources for support, whether financial or emotional, and may lack necessary role models. Single-parent families, therefore , are families with extraordinary needs. It is the premise of this thesis that many of these needs are related to housing. Among the issues involved are childcare, location of the workplace, the sense of home and of belonging to a neighborhood, of having a 'turf ' of one's own. These issues are not limited to the single- parent family, per se. But these families have both greater economic and emotional constraints, and fewer resources for housing and services. The present-day housing market does not cater to this ever-growing segment of our population. The attempt to define the housing- related needs of these families is paralleled by a design exploration. The site is 21 adjacent lots in a residential neighborhood of San Francisco. The program is for a cluster development of 24 units, incorporating various levels of cooperative living. There are single units and shared units all have features that are intended to enhance the possibility of sharing childcare or chores, and to facilitate the reintegration of the workplace with the home.

Abstract:
This paper uses the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) to compare academic achievement of children in two-parent, single mother and single father families. Academic achievement is measured by a math and reading composite score from a standardized achievement test. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models are used to test three competing theories of children's academic achievement: economic theory, individualistic perspective of gender and evolutionary parental investment theory. Findings do not support the evolutionary parental investment theory. The economic theory, which states that single fathers are more capable of offering economic resources to their children compared to single mothers, is supported. This economic advantage of children in single father families allows children in this family type to achieve at the same level as (keep up with) children in single mother families. The individual perspective of gender, which states that children in single mother families fare better because women fulfill the caregiver and homemaker roles, is supported by this study. It is also possible that other factors play a role in differing levels of academic achievement between children in different family types.

Abstract:
Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Community Psychology at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 2012.
The aim of this study was to investigate the emotional experiences of adolescents from single-parent families; the primary aim being to determine whether adolescents display emotional experiences that differ from those of adolescents from both-parent families (intact families). Literature reveals that single parenting is strongly associated with an increased risk of negative social, behavioural and emotional outcomes ( Callister, Burks, & Suart 2006; Ge, Conger, & Eelder, 2005). A quasi-experimental design was adopted for this study. A sample of one hundred learners in grade 12 at one of the Bizana senior secondary schools was selected for this study. Their ages ranged from 16yrs to 18yrs. Sample selection was purposive. Of the 100 learners that were selected, half of them were from-single-parent families and the other half was from both-parent families. Each of these learners was asked to complete a questionnaire that would objectively assess them on six dimensions of psychological well-being. Ryff’s 18 item psychological well-being questionnaire was used. The six dimensions of psychological well-being, namely autonomy (a), personal growth (pg), environmental mastery (em), purpose in life (pl), positive relations with others (pr) and self-acceptance (sa).

Abstract:
Nowadays, we can observe various changes in family structure, which lead to the need to change the traditional understanding of the family. These changes can be explained by the prevalence of the globalization process in society, which have affected almost all spheres of life, including the family institute. Within the article, based on the analysis of statistical data and literature, the current trends of changes in family structure and related challenges will be described. When analysing changes in family structure, it is necessary to focus on both - structural and qualitative changes, which were reflected in the composition of families, trends in marriage registration, as well as in relationships between family members. The most characteristic changes show increase of such families with children where cohabiting partners are living together without registering the marriage as well as decreasing amount of nuclear families and increasing amount of single-parent families. This trend leads to other qualitative changes in family structure - several challenges of social policy because single-parent families often face different problems related to effective functioning of the family. For example, single-parent families with children are more often at risk of poverty than nuclear families, as well as face various types of problems in meeting the needs of the family. Social policy planners, when designing support for families with children, should take into account the specifics of single-parent families and provide them support according to the needs of these families, without waiting when families will fall into the social risk category.

Abstract:
The paper is describe the study of features of control of behavior of young man and girl from complete and single-parent families. The data of 114 people aged 18 to 21 years (average age 19.7 years) were analyzed. Of these, 23 men from the complete family and 21 from the single-parent family (44 boys in total)? 38 girls from the complete family and 32girls from the incomplete family (70 girls in total) in terms of cognitive, emotional and volitional control, as components of unifying regulatory construct “control of behavior” (Sergienko, 2018). It was shown that the family type is important for the development of control of behavior for boys in comparison with girls. Boys from complete families have more developed abilities in the field of recognition and regulation of emotions in comparison with boys from single-parent families. In addition, for boys their age is important when the family has become incomplete from the position of the development of cognitive independence.

Full text
Abstract:
Hungary's family tax system is often criticised for being unequally distributed, favouring high-earners and those with several children. In my analysis, I point out that, according to calculations based on the traditional notion of per capita income, families with four children are the worst off on all incomes, and that families with one child are no worse off than the often envied families with three children, and are, in fact, several income decils above them. However, if we take into account that newer household members require less extra expenditure and apply the OECD statistical methodology, we can see that in the lower income categories, who are at risk of poverty, it is indeed the one-child households who are worse off, while in the middle income categories (median and mean income) it is the two-child households who are worse off. The study also dispels the misconception that the family tax relief is only fully available to wealthy parents. Even the majority of those in the lowest income decile can take full advantage of the benefit for up to 3 children. The critical situation is, in fact, for single-parent families. Indeed, single-parent families are not entitled to the full benefit for 3 or more children in the lowest income decile.

The similar historical and cultural background of the Visegrad countries makes them well suited for comparing government policies. In this paper, I investigate whether family tax allowances have had an impact on families' risk of poverty. I examine single-parent and two-earner households separately. The simplest model showed that tax allowances had an impact on poverty rates, but the results are not all positive. However, when time is taken as a trend variable, only Czech two-earner families show a poverty-reducing effect of family tax allowances.

Full text
Abstract:
Based on the census of 1959, the study examines the phenomenon of post-war widowhood, including the socio-demographic portrait of widows in Sverdlovsk, as well as the characteristics of families headed by widows. The article is based on information from survey forms preserved in the archive and transcribed into a database that includes two tables: “Population of the city of Sverdlovsk. 1959» (4,715 entries) and “Family of the city of Sverdlovsk. 1959» (2,079 entries). To assess the level and frequency of widowhood, general and special coefficients were used to determine the impact of military losses on the family structure of the city, characterised by the archaisation of family and marriage relations as a result of the spread of intra-family consolidation strategies (an increase in the number of extended families). The transformation of single-parent families into typical social organisation was also considered. The unprecedented military losses of the male population during the Great Patriotic War exacerbated the gender imbalance that began to take shape at the end of the 19th century and particularly manifested during the First World War and the Civil War. The 1940s–1950s differ from the 1920s in that this is the time of the completion of the demographic transition, characterised by a change in the model of family and marriage behaviour, a tendency towards family nuclearisation.

Institute for Social Science in the 21st Century, University College Cork, May 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.33178/10468/14485.

Full text
Abstract:
This research, conducted in conjunction with One Family, set out to document the lived experiences of Jobseeker’s Transitional Payment (JST) recipients and to explore how JST is working ‘on the ground’. Because JST is a relatively new payment in the Irish social welfare system, little is known about how it is experienced by recipients. Furthermore, because people living in single parent households are consistently over-represented in poverty statistics across all metrics (at risk of poverty, enforced deprivation and consistent poverty), how caregivers in one-parent households experience a policy that is designed with such households in mind represents important work. The research was qualitative in nature and the original data presented in the report were collected via one focus group coupled with a series of ten interviews. A substantial review of the literature was also undertaken, and this was used to frame the research. Available statistics, along with statistics obtained via parliamentary questions, are also used to inform the research. The core aims for this research were as follows: Develop an in-depth understanding of the lived experiences of the recipients of JST; Develop an understanding of how JST policy is working ‘on the ground’; Document the challenges and benefits associated with the payment; Develop a claimant-based user guide as a resource for new entrants to the payment scheme; Generate research data of relevance to One Family and related support and advocacy groups in their work with one parent families and their policy work in terms of the future direction of JST.

Abstract:
This report, prepared for The Jim Henson Company, shares findings of a sub-study investigating the types of support parents and caregivers need when navigating and using the second-screen Splash and Bubbles for Parents app. This study originated from a prior field study finding indicating families would benefit from support around the app since it represents a new kind of digital tool. In partnership with local Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) stations, we provided parents and caregivers more detailed support around the features of the app. Based on survey and interview findings, parents and caregivers found the app helpful for supporting their children’s science learning, thus validating the field study findings. We also found that all sections of the app were used and could help promote conversations between parent/caregiver and child. Moreover, families expressed choosing to use a specific app section when they felt it was more relevant or developmentally appropriate for their child.

Abstract:
In this paper, we aim to understand some of the mechanisms behind the low impact of a Chilean educational reform on socioeconomic integration within the school system. We focus on pre-kindergarden (pre-K) admissions, which account for the highest volume of applications since all students (except those applying to private schools) must seek admission through the centralized system. We employ a discrete choice model to analyze parents school preferences. Our analysis reveals that the school choices of low-SES families are more strongly influenced by a schools non-academic attributes which are often omitted from analyses of parental preferences due to data availability constraints rather than academic quality. For instance, low-SES parents tend to prefer schools with fewer reported violent incidents, schools where students report facing less discrimination and exclusion, and schools where students demonstrate higher levels of self-efficacy. Disadvantaged families also tend to favor schools that have a religious affiliation, offer more ”classical” sports (e.g. soccer), or have a foreign name. These results have significant implications for understanding the preferences of disadvantaged families and the impact of centralized admission systems on reducing segregation. By recognizing the non-academic factors driving school choices, policymakers can better design admission systems that truly foster school diversity and equality.

Abstract:
Families in Canada, like those in other high-income countries, have undergone major changes in recentdecades. Women are having fewer children and are less likely to get married, resulting in smaller familyhouseholds and a growing proportion of children being raised by single or cohabiting parents. Divorcerates are declining, indicating that couples who do marry are more likely to stay married. Decisionsabout whether and when to marry or to have children are strongly influenced by ever-changingsocioeconomic factors and cultural values. Certain groups, including immigrants, visible minorities, and Indigenous peoples, follow distinctive patterns of family formation. Geography also shapesfamilies. Quebec and Nunavut stand out with very high cohabitation rates, and fertility is roughly 50% higher in rural than in urban Canada. These profound changes and striking variations have critical implications for the wellbeing of children and their families. Understanding these changes and the diversity in family patterns offers important guidance for developing tailored and effectivesocial policies regarding family, health, education, and housing.

Abstract:
Since 2011, China has dramatically grown its robotics sector as part of its mission to achieve technological leadership. The Chinese government has encouraged this growth through incentives and, in some cases, subsidies. Patents in robotics have surged, particularly at Chinese universities; by contrast, private companies comprise the bulk of robotics patent filers around the world. China has also seen a corresponding growth in robotics purchasing and active robotics stock. This data brief explores the trends in robotics patent families published from China as a measure of robotics advancement and finds that China is on track to emerge as a world leader in robotics.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of drop unit substitution in address-based samples for mail and web surveys. A drop point is a single US Postal Service (USPS) delivery point or receptacle that services multiple businesses, families, or households (USPS, 2017). Residential drop units are the individual housing units served by the drop point address. For the most part, address-based sampling frames list the number of units at a drop point address but will not contain information identifying specific units. Drop units comprise less than 2 percent of all residential addresses in the United States (McMichael, 2017), but they tend to be concentrated in certain large cities. In Queens, New York, for example, drop units constitute 27 percent of residential housing units. The problem with drop units for address-based surveys with mail contacts is that, without names or unit identifiers, there is no way to control which unit receives the various mailings. This limitation leads to distorted selection probabilities, renders the use of cash incentives by mail impractical, and precludes traditional methods for mail nonresponse follow-up, thus resulting in higher nonresponse. Alternatively, excluding drop units results in coverage error, which can be considerable for some subnational estimates. The authors propose a substitution approach when a drop unit is sampled—in other words, replacing the unit with a similar nearby unit in a non–drop point building.

Abstract:
Across the globe, unpaid care and domestic work (UCDW) sustains communities and economies, provides essential care for children, sick and elderly people and those living with disabilities, and keeps households clean and families fed. Without unpaid care, the global economy as we know it would grind to a halt. Yet this work falls disproportionately on women and girls, limiting their opportunities to participate in decent paid employment, education, leisure and political life. Heavy and unequal UCDW traps women and girls in cycles of poverty and stops them from being part of solutions. To help address this, Oxfam, together with a number of partners, has been working in over 25 countries to deliver the Women’s Economic Empowerment and Care (WE-Care) programme since 2013. WE-Care aims to reignite progress on gender equality by addressing heavy and unequal UCDW. By recognizing, reducing and redistributing UCDW, WE-Care is promoting a just and inclusive society where women and girls have more choice at every stage of their lives, more opportunities to take part in economic, social and political activities, and where carers’ voices are heard in decision making about policies and budgets at all levels. This overview document aims to highlight the approaches taken and lessons learned on unpaid care that Oxfam has implemented in collaboration with partners in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.
