37000 people

Why is the state supporting the children of 37,000 people?

Opfp is recieved by 12, 800 and JTB by 4,700 people. For every one parent there's another, making the total of 37,000 people getting handouts to raise their children as a lone parent. What's the deal?

I'd think only one parent can claim the lone parent allowance or else they're not lone parents

It's a disgrace, Joe. Back in the olden days we'd have sent them down the coal mines.

The other parent benefits aswell as the state takes on finacially providing for the child, and they don't have to.

Child labor laws are smothering our nation!

It's still not 35000 people getting handouts

(it's not 37000, your maths is wrong)

His shpelling, grammar and syntax ain't too great either. The Commies are to blame for that too, though, doubtless.

Give the single mothers cigarette vouchers instead of cash. Then
we'll see what happens.

I'll take the correction on the 35,000. But they are all benefitting. Half of them getting handouts in cash, the other half benefitting by not having to pay the cash.

What is the reason for 35,000 people having children with unsuitable partners?


Here's some more figures


Edit: here's some more figures, maybe leo's maths is off

The most up to date information on the One Parent Family Payment (OFP) and Jobseeker’s Transition Payment (JST) since the recent OFP reforms (as of 30th September 2015):

There are now 75,202 child dependents of One-Parent Family Payment recipients.
There are currently approximately 16,000 Jobseeker’s Transition recipients in total.
Of the approximately 25,500 customers who exited the OFP scheme on 2 July, 2015, the majority of customers transitioned to the Jobseeker’s Transitional payment, the Jobseeker’s Allowance payment and the Family Income Supplement. – 13,600 (or 54%) of them moved to the Jobseeker’s Transitional Payment (JST); – 2,500 (or 10%) of them moved to the Jobseeker’s Allowance (JA) scheme, and – 8,100 (or 32%) of them moved to the Family Income Supplement (FIS) scheme

Great idea! Lets attack the single mothers, bastards the lot of them!

If the father had children with more than one woman then there's less men than women and that'll bring your numbers down more

Also if a mother had 3 kids it's a 1 parent family but there could be 3 baby daddies so that would be 3 to that 1, making the grand total of 4

You're the first poster to mention gender. That's sexist assuming all single parents are women. 13.5% of lone parents are fathers as per 2011 census (see above post for link). If you read the first post you'll see I also included the absent parent.

Please could you explain how this is an attack on single mothers?
