Mehrfach benachteiligt. Wie Bildung, Job und Einkommen die Gesundheit alleinerziehender Mütter in der Schweiz prägen

An analysis of Swiss data has shown the health outcomes of employed single mothers to be simi-lar to those of employed mothers who live in couples. But it is not just in-come that has an effect on health but also education: Single mothers with a higher-level degree report better health outcomes. Employment appar-ently enables women in Switzerland to mobilize greater economic and non-economic resources and to offset the hardship of being a single parent with successes in other life domains.
