title: [Single-parent families in Austria].
abstract: "This article presents data on the demographic trends of one-parent families and their current economic and social situation [in Austria].... The vast majority of single-parent families are headed by women....[and are] thus largely dependent on the women's economic status.  The data show that the economic disadvantage of single-parent families, i.e. their low per capita income, is caused by discrimination [in] the labour market." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
