23rd November 2016 - New reports - Lone parents in Scotland
ScotPHO has published the following two reports on lone parents in Scotland:
- Lone parents in Scotland, Great Britain and the UK: health, employment and social security,
- Lone parents in Scotland: work, income and child health; in-work progression; and the geography of lone parenthood.
These briefings were written to inform the work of the Lone Parents and Welfare Reform sub-group of the Scottish Government's Welfare Reform & Health Impact Delivery Group (HIDG). The findings of the papers are likely to be of interest to those who are involved in planning at both a national and at a local level in community planning and health and social care partnerships. They are particularly pertinent to the following areas of policy: social security, employability, child poverty, early years, children & families and fair work.
See the publication page for the reports for further details and to download the reports.
