[HIGHLIGHTS] Single-parent families: what does the card proposed by the women's delegation of the Senate consist of?

The Senate women's rights delegation proposed a new system supposed to offer preferential rates to single-parent families. The delegation's proposal would be a card giving entitlement to advantages and preferential rates for certain services and benefits.

Unlike the “large families” version, such a card would also be “a means for single parents to report themselves as such” to the administrations or their employer. One in four families in France are single- parent, with a woman at the head in 82% of cases, recalls the delegation's document.
