520 1 _a"Drawing on interviews with 70 lone mothers who live on state benefits, are unmarried and live in inner city areas, Going it Alone? examines the complexity and diversity of their lives; the way in which they try to manage choices and constraints and how they position themselves as carers, dependents or as paid workers." "The book assesses the extent to which individualization can explain the experience of state-dependent lone mothers. The author provides a better understanding of lone mothers by developing the concept further. Recommendations with regard to paid employment, education and state benefits are provided as well as social policy indications for increasing lone mothers' choices."--BOOK JACKET.
