Galway Bay Fm-A new NUI Galway report on lone parents is being used as a lobby document to ask the government to help single parents out of poverty and into employment.
The report, called ‘Lone Parents and Activiation’ has been published this week by the UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre at NUI Galway.
One Family, an organisation for single parents, says the study is key in understanding the steps which must be taken by government to create real opportunities for the often vulnerable group.
CEO of One Family, Karen Kiernan, told Galway Bay Fm news the government needs to implement these recommendations in budget 2017.
