Elles sont plus d’1,5 million de mères célibataires en France : un chiffre qui a quasiment doublé en 30 ans. Prises à la gorge par les difficultés économiques et le gouffre de la précarité qui les absorbe prioritairement, elles souffrent pour la plupart d’isolement et d’épuisement.Ce livre a pour objectif d’alerter sur celles que la société ne veut pas voir, d’identifier les blocages systémiques qui grèvent leur quotidien – casse-tête de la garde des enfants, pensions alimentaires impayées,injustice fiscale, etc. – et d’exhorter les politiques à se saisir du problème.Mais cet essai a aussi pour but de leur permettre de relever la tête, quel que soit leur niveau de vie, enrecensant nombre de conseils et témoignages pour vivre mieux, et de se défaire du jugement péjoratif quela société porte sur elles, en promouvant notamment de nouveaux modèles familiaux.Les familles monoparentales représentent aujourd’hui un quart des foyers français, avec dans leur écrasantemajorité des femmes à leur tête : il est temps de changer de regard sur les mères solos et d’exiger des mesures politiques dignes de ce nom pour les soutenir !

Since the mid-1970s, the number of single-parent families has increased greatly in the U.S., contributing to the nation's child poverty problem. In response, the federal government and various states have tried to increase child support payments from non-custodial parents. Using data from administrative records and from the child support modules in the Survey of Income Program and Participation (SIPP) and the April and March Current Population Surveys (CPS), we find that the proportion of never married mothers receiving child support rose sharply in the 1980s and 1990s, with the largest increases in states where child support payment were particularly modest. Using within-state variation over time to determine the effect of policy on child support payments, we estimate that increased government expenditures on child support policies are responsible for about one fifth of the upward trend. Our results show that child support expenditures and tougher child support legislation policies work best in tandem. States that both increased expenditures and adopted tougher laws experienced the largest increase in the proportion of never married mothers receiving support.
