Economic challenges among single-parenting mothers and their children in Japan

or Online (Zoom)
Single mothers are one of the most economically marginalised people in the world. Japan is no exception, with many single-parenting mothers left in poverty, with limited access to decent work. While the Government of Japan provides financial support and NGOs do aid these mothers at the grassroots level, further institutional assistance is required, as the COVID pandemic laid bare. This event provides lectures from an expert in this area in Japan. Then participants will discuss the topic and consider means to have an inclusive society for single mothers in poverty, not only in Japan but also on a global level.
