Abstract: Single parents are critical members of communities across the country, fundamental to their children’s well-being and the overall economy. In fact, 35 percent of parents in the United States are single parents. Moreover, these proposed policies would disproportionately harm women, who are more likely than men to be single parents and who are more economically insecure to begin with. Those most at risk are the children impacted by these policies, which are based on outdated ideas about families and gender roles.
