Abstract
(en) Who is Responsible for Supporting the Child When the Father is Absent? The situation in Belgium The author of this paper outlines socio-demographic, political and legal issues in Belgium linked to the question of "who is responsible for supporting the child when the father is absent ?" After trying to assess the scope of the phenomenon of mother-headed single-parent families in Belgium today, he looks at the issues from the perspective of civil and social law. He examines current government measures to combat poverty, especially those targeted to households with an absent father that are faced with a precarious social and financial situation, and he attempts to determine the role the departure of the father has played in the increasingly precarious situation of mother-headed single-parent families.
