Role of social workers to support single mothers: A case study of welfare receivers in Iran

Abstract

The women who lose their partners normally face tremendous challenges among their parents and in society.Women may lose their husbands for different reasons such as divorce, drug addiction, violence and migration.They may often look to build a new life very quickly but will find out that society does not treat them, properly.It is more difficult to find job and even a job opportunity does not provide sufficient pay.In this paper, we study the impact of different affecting parameters on empowering single mothers such as audacity, social responsibility, trouble shooting, flexibility, stress tolerance, etc.We choose 200 single mothers who receive welfare from the government of Iran and distribute a questionnaire among them based on four different questions associated with social, economical, feeling and empowering.The results indicate that audacity and social responsibility are the most important items while being optimistic, independent and flexibility are counted as having the least impact on empowering single mothers.
