• One in four households in France is single-parent, with single mothers being the main responsible (82%) for these cores.
• Acknowledgement of these families was given within the context of the yellow vests, where leaders emerged embodying this reality.
• Despite their sociological relevance, single-parent households face high vulnerability with 41% of minors living below the poverty line.
• Specific aids for these families are scarce and the situation has worsened due to inflation and the food crisis.
• The government is starting to take these families into account in political discussions and legislative proposals.

Conclusion: There is a recognized need to support single-parent families in France with proposals to institute a specific status and corresponding rights, hopeful to improve their socio-economic situation and visibility.
