Causes of Single Motherhood
Single mothers face a lot of challenges that are implemented by society and al; so they come across various challenges in life regarding their health. At the top of the demand of life, a single mother faces lots of issues in their life and has to move across various issues in life. They are to face lots of the work schedules and develop more childcare responsibilities. Single moms face lots of risks that are higher in the development of the health problem than their married peers. In this study, various aspects of single motherhood and the social and health determinants are going to be studied for a better idea of the challenges encountered in bringing up a child by a single parent.
The causes of single motherhood can be due to various reasons:
- Single motherhood may affect the child as a result of the age of the child.
- Unintended pregnancy and the denial of the partner to get married after sexual interaction before marriage.
- In some cases, it seems that single motherhood is taken over by choice and developed with the adoption process.
Single motherhood is a challenging job for all, and they face the issues of loneliness, hopelessness, lack of confidence and identity and helplessness. A single parent is highly stressful as the mother taking care of the child single-handedly has to face lots of problems by taking care of the household and earning a livelihood for the family (Alderwick & Gottlieb, 2019). Single parents are likely to affect the child by the process of adaptation and have to be taken off by the single mother only. The divorce and separation of the parents must be avoided for a better future for the child and taking care of the family as a whole. The parents getting divorced should be able to adjust themselves and take care of the child together (Kolak et al. 2020). It is often and usually found that the problems that are being expressed and mainly made for the feelings that are essential for children and taking care of the relationship with the children.
It is mainly evident that the social factors are mainly affected due to the education, income level, ethnicity,and gender and employment status. It is mainly marked as the influenced parts of the lower individual are mainly the cause of the socioeconomic position and is a higher aspect of the risk-taking place in the poor health. Health equities are the efforts that single mothers need to face in the society regarding the distribution of health, and it is a condition that is developed for the growth, working, age and birth (Cantor & Thorpe, 2018). Health inequities are mainly faced by the population due to unfair treatment that is reduced for the right mix of the policies of the government. Health inequities in the population of single mothers are mainly involved due to the systematic differences in the health status and various groups of the population.
It is important that the single mothers are helped, and their health is taken care of for poorer health that is reached at the older age. The studies mainly identified the root causes and the researchers are mainly due to stress that a single mother is going through. Single parents are coming across the income levels that are mainly due to the lack of health insurance and taking care of the increased health coverage (Northwood et al. 2018). The silver bullet is mainly alleviated for the single mothers and taking care of their health problems. It is the solution that is posited by the experts and the food security that is made in employment and maintaining good health outcomes.
Impact of Single Motherhood on Health and Society
The challenges and issues of single motherhood can be overcome with the implementation of various strategies that can be used the enhancement the condition of a single mother.
- Giving the children the love and attention that they deserve by setting aside some time to spend that is mainly playing, sitting and reading the requirements. Share the children with the love and the praise that they serve (Hill-Briggs et al., 2021).
- Setting up the rules that are needed to be created for the explanation of the things that are required for the children. It is essential to stay disciplined in setting up the limit and taking care of screen time.
- Talking to the children and their mother about handling their responsibilities. It is important that the rules are being set up to reward the children and complete the responsibilities and chores that are essential (Donkin et al. 2018).
- Taking care of the mother is important for the parents taking care of the children in a single-handed way. It is necessary to ensure that the mother is taking good care of the food that is being eaten and having a sound sleep.
- Staying positive towards every aspect mostly develops the everyday necessities of time (Doobay-Persaud et al., 2019). The children must be able to manage and develop the children with a proper feelings. Staying positive, the focus has to be made on the well-being of the family.
Local
The intervention that is required for a better community-based program is important for better support in society. Better education must be given to the low income of their single mother. A positive aspect of mood is mainly affected by the mood and the self-esteem that is made for parenting and social support.
Government
Single parents are mainly developed for the high incomes and the rates of poverty that are required for poor health. The interventions that are involved in the financial sanctions are made for the training, lifetime, incentives, financial sanctions and lifetime limits (Alegría et al. 2018). It is more employment that is made for the majority of the parents that is important for the studies. Depression has mainly remained that is high and is required for the single parents that are regardless of the operation of the “Welfare-to-Work (WtW) interventions. p
Communities
Single parents mainly develop in the communities that are significantly for community support and lower incomes. The high incidence of the history that is developed for the documentation that is made for the community sample, for the health promotion process. It is mainly enabled for a better understanding of the health promotion that is made for the interventions of the families (Crear-Perry et al., 2021). The studies are mainly emphasising the various influences of the health promotion that is mainly developed for the ways of overcoming the problems. Ultimate aims are mainly developed for the empowerment of the single mother, that is, children, for making changes that improve the quality of life.
Not-For-Profit Organisation
Non-profits are pretty that is mainly made for the serious fighter in the wrong direction that is developed for the concerns of confidence. The public perception is mainly developed for troubling the non-profit organisation that is dependent on the continuous aspects of the financial contribution (Marmot & Bell, 2019). Addressing the ethics and concerns is mainly required for a deeper understanding of the forces that are compromised in the ethical judgement and are effected for the institutional response.
A larger organisation is mainly important for the issues of the department of ethical judgments. Fragmenting information across multiple departments and developed for the people that are lacking importance for the facts that are legal concerns (Asad & Clair, 2018). Work can be allocated for better prevention of the decisions that are makers of seeing the images and channels of expressing the inadequate concerns. Health interventions play a major role in the determination of healthcare facilities that are important for overcoming systemic differences in health in a particular range of the population. Such inequities are mainly developed for the significance of the economic and social costs for both societies and individuals.
Conclusion
From the study it can be concluded that the changes faced by a single parent and the requirements of proper health intervention, it can be concluded that bringing up a child in a single-handed way is a challenging task for the mother. It is full of adjustments and compromises that are required to be faced with overcoming the children that are going to strive for better development. It sometimes becomes a major problem and challenge to overcome such a challenge of taking care of the child as it affects the mental well-being of the child. It is important that encountering the changes is important for overcoming the bias of the organisational development and taking care of the position that is important for active solicitation of the diverse perspectives and the dissenting views.
