New research by One Parent Families|Gingerbread and the Institute for Fiscal Studies, published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.

This report examines whether encouraging lone parents to work in jobs of less than 16 hours a week (‘mini-jobs’) could increase the employment rate of lone parents, tackle the high rates of poverty among this group, and allow lone parents to make choices about how to combine work and family life on a more similar basis to mothers in couples.
