Single mothers have to contend with various social stigmas, financial hardships as well as workplace inequalities. This chapter investigates the resilience and challenges of single motherhood. It focusses on the emotional, social, and economic implications caused by the phenomenon. It also explores the changing family structures influenced by patriarchal legacies and societal expectations, and their effects on the psychological and developmental wellbeing of single mothers and their children.
