The increase of single parenthood is not a phenomenon that isolated only in the Western world. Also in South Africa is it has a high proportion of single parents within the population. In 1998, 22% of households in South Africa of single parents were lead.
Is single parent as a result of (a) divorce (b) death or alienation of the spouse (c) teen pregnancy as in any country.
Apart from the AIDS epidemic, South Africa's social fragmentation is currently faced as women continue to suffer from a high rate of teen pregnancy.
Single women are conditions of poverty in a very early age with a few systems of loops, especially South African communities note the responsibility of the mother care-giving and bringing up children alone shoulders.
Single or widowed heads of households in South Africa are also responsible for the care of family members and of HIV/AIDS affected children.
A report on the State of South Africa population (2000) shows a high unmet need for contraception among young people and women live a very high pregnancies in rural areas thus turnout. The report calls for empowerment programs for young people and women in rural areas so that they can control their reproductive behavior.
Many children in South Africa grew up without their fathers. In some parts, many women lead the lone households, because their husbands gone way to work in the cities across the border. Many of the men died of AIDS diseases. Some women are single parents to lose husbands by war.
Many single due to the increasing number of divorces have become natural. Local figures show that in South Africa it roughly 27,000 divorce in 1986 and 33.246 1987 and 1989 was 32.524. Two-thirds of these divorces involved children.
In 1985, more than 25,000 children were a home run by a single parent. September 1990 data show that 73 percent of children in South Africa from broken homes come and 150,000 children had affected over the last four years of divorce.
These figures are certainly now shot.
The problem with the divorce is that it not only marriage, which decays, but also the children who get separated from one or both parents. South Africa is predominantly a patriarchal society and children have therefore suffered on the very basis of the absent fathers.
Men not in front of their patriarchal responsibility has had a profound effect on the collective mind of the next generation of South Africans.
Effects of divorce on the South African children specifically include the increasing opportunities for the exploitation of children. The increase of single parent in South Africa led to more orphans and street children as single parents decide to leave their children because of extreme poverty.
In South Africa, the foster parents get more State funding than single parents to protect what the task of young children because of the inability of single parents. It is these kids who most missing, care and support and are exploited particularly endangered.
Single women feel the stigma of the poor and are single, widowed or divorced and under extreme pressure from the company. Single mothers, who are looking for ways to support their children and are very much like great risks for bread on the table, are very vulnerable to prostitution and trafficking in human beings.
For these situations, Government and non-governmental relief are direly needed. Employment, education and talent should be a great help training for single parents.
An example of programs that is single parents what SOS children running an NGO in Mamelodi, Mandela village called. Single parents are offered continuing education courses. Courses include beadwork and sewing (tailoring).
Some men and women make on the course of sewing dresses and knit sweater, which they can then sell. This allows a steady income to generate single-parent families, so that they can support their children. A number of single parents in this way are grants to start up their own businesses help given.
