One in four American children lives with a single parent. Check out Episode #6 of @thestateofwomenpod: How The Single Mom Stigma Plays Out! 🎙️ Here’s what you can expect during this episode ⤵️ 〰 America’s policies and institutions are still modeled around the traditional two-parent household where one parent works and the other stays at home. 〰 Hosts Kimberly Brooks and Gina Brillon unpack how that idea contributes to the modern-day caregiving crisis, how it is hitting single-parent families the hardest, and the vast disparities in policies across the U.S. that support solo parents.
