Abstract

This study examined the poverty and the new family forms in Iran. Data collected from different resources in Iran are used to examine the determinants of welfare participation among female single parents. Results indicate that in Iran only families on very low incomes receive any welfare assistance, and there is neither universal family allowance, nor any housing benefit or maternity benefit. In other words, life on welfare in Iran is an acceptable option only to the extremely poor lone mother and offers a life only at the margin of society. In fact for the majority of these lone mothers there are very few areas of employment open to them and those that are tend to have very low wages. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
