Sole support mothers face many barriers to employment and to education. In this article, the author discusses ways to breaking down these barriers, such as providing: improved and increased subsidized day care facilities; access to affordable housing; improved training allowances; an end to restrictive criteria for access to training allowances, and; an end to discrimination that places different cultural, racial, and economic groups in competition for slender, resources. We need to give sole-support mothers an equal opportunity in the marketplace.

Work carried out in the formal economy gives only a partial picture of all the economically significant activities performed in a society.
