Challenging and provocative, Ambert's essay on one-parent families in Canada serves as a strong critique of our society. With over 16% of all Canadian families with dependent children classified as one-parent families (OPFs), this paper challenges the reader to critically examine how, as a nation, we support those children and families at greatest risk of experiencing negative outcomes. With well-supported arguments, Ambert explores issues of gender, age, poverty, educational attainment and financial security, thereby exposing the varied complexion and prospects of OPFs in Canada. Boldly the author wades into the sticky territory of values, beliefs and morality, arguing that a cultural shift towards rights and individual gratification has been at the expense of responsibilities a burden borne largely by the children of OPFs. Punctuated by compelling anecdotes, Ambert paints a stark picture of intergenerational poverty, gender discrimination and failed public policy.
