The paper begins with a general review of the concept of single parenthood as a situation where a parent looks after a child or children without a partner or simply put, an act of bringing up a child or children single handedly either by a male or female parent. This kind of family setting is known as single parent family. The paper states that we live in a society where over half of all children are born to single parents or into marriages that end in divorce, death, desertion, separation and pregnancy before marriage.
