Since a few decades ago, it is studied that the rise of poverty rates, particularly in the United States of America, can be traced to the socioeconomic status of female-headed families with children. Results of studies show that the risk of poverty for female-headed households is higher compared to male-headed household. Thus, the matter concerning female-headed homes continues to become a major concern to policymakers (Gabe, 2011). There are various elements associated with this issue: inequality, discrimination, family structure, labor force participation, welfare programs and so on. This will be the ...
