I must first nerve with a few Figures: In Germany, 1.6 million Single-parent life. Of these, 1.44 million are mothers. In 88 percent of cases, the father, the maintenance should pay for the children. As far as the facts. The reality is this: half of The debtor’s fathers don’t pay, the state must step in so that the children are financially cared for. This advance, the state is taking back from the fathers, this is exactly what happened in 13 percent of cases.
the reality is that only about a third of fathers take parental time, but not longer than two months. That women want to work after the birth, but no treatment options (300,000 for nursery places and 100 000 teachers), and their working hours must be reduced (58 percent), because the return to the old Job with a child is possible.
If both raise, you need a lot twice
you smoke now, after all the Figures of the head? Me too. But these Figures are important to understand, why the push by the Federal Minister for family Affairs, Franziska Giffey, fathers who care for their children, half, relieve financially, many single mothers before your head hits. At first glance, the has to do with the other. Giffey refers to the fathers who take care of their children in fact, in which the children live also. In this case, the mothers are not single parents, but to educate, together with the father, only in different households.
The Problem, however, is that both parents need to have parts of two large apartments, many twice. Previously this was only for the better off to Finance. The exchange model, in which the father no longer has to pay is to miss the reality of life, because many families can not afford it. And it’s not fair. The one who is usually the father earns more, then you have no maintenance to pay more, two-a-days, therefore, the woman has mostly dispensed with their own career and only part-time even more costs on can work. When viewed from this perspective, it has to do something with each other. Therefore, it is important to see this issue in a wider context.
fathers, who care, get prices. And Women?
It is to me, caring fathers against single mothers in this matter. And it is good that the Minister for family Affairs, strive to ensure that it is fairer for separated parents. But you which show both good sense proposal to help the fathers to financially take care of their children, is not the righteousness, the have hoped for many women. Re-entry into the Job, better child care opportunities, justice in taxation, would have been the more important topics. There are so many acute sites, that it sounds like mockery, when the Minister relieved the fathers, instead of the risk of poverty of lone mothers.
