| dc.description.abstract | Phenomenon of single mothers has not been perceived by the society for a long time, although many people are confronted with it in their neighbourhood and families. Single mothers are given full responsibility and guilty of their own situation and position in the society. Many of them, especially young girls become outcasts of the society. Recently it has become very difficult to ignore the fact that the increase of single mothers is more obvious in urban area due to increase of cases of divorce, lack of responsible fatherhood, death of husbands, early unprotected sexual practices among adolescents, unprotected sexual practices in general and increased migration from rural to urban. Even though the economic situation and life standards of single mothers as the most vulnerable group among the single parents is worse, there is no micro finance organization which deals explicitly with single mothers as such, despite the fact that there is very strong demand of credit for them. In that sense there is a need to carry out a case study on credit demand and supply for single mothers to support the observations stated in this study. | |
