Abstract

The chancellor claimed that the public service cuts outlined in the Comprehensive Spending Review would be based on fairness and that cuts would be shared equally in an attempt to protect the most vulnerable in our society. Yet research finds that the single parent families will be one of the worst affected groups, facing services cuts equivalent to over 10 per cent of their household income. With 9 out of 10 single parent families headed by women, Amy Mollett examines how poor mothers stand to lose the most when services are cut
