Lone parents, employment and social policy is essential reading for students in social policy, sociology, human geography, gender and women's studies, as well as policy makers and practitioners in the field of lone parents and employment.It will be of interest to those who want to know more about these policy developments but also to those interested in broader issues about gender and welfare states.
