It is necessary for the changes to include policy makers
and corporate decision-makers. Gender-segregation in the
workplaces hurts women. Incentives must be provided that
encourage government and corporate elites to give women equal
access to job training programs and non-sexist promotion and
evaluation procedures. Pay inequities for comparable work
should be eliminated and incentives provided for businesses
and employers to provide training, education, and realistic
child-care policies that recognize that there is no longer a
mutually-exclusive dicohotomy of work and family respon-
sibilities because female single parents work outside the
home in greater proportion than women in any other marital
category or status. However, they still have to provide child-
care, since so few of the absent, non—custodial fathers end
up with the children. Adequate, affordable, and quality
housing and transportation systems should be provided by
government and business that take into account the unique
needs of working single parents. Major resources need to be
allocated to providing high-quality, flexible, day-care
centers available to all working mothers regardless of
income. Employers should provide employees benefit packages
that reflect the needs of the working female single mothers
and not just their children. The workplace should minimize
job and family role strains.
