Abstract
The single parent employment rate has improved significantly over the past 20 years, but lately this progress has stalled. A new report finds the low wage economy means a job in itself is now not enough for single parents to maintain basic living standards. Sumi Rabindrakumar discusses the findings and argues the government must act now to tackle low pay and job insecurity if it wants to minimise welfare spending and to ensure equitable economic growth.
