- Statistic: 82% of single-parent households are led by mothers, meaning that government aid is primarily designed for them, leaving single fathers without adequate support. (Source: Fédération des Acteurs de la Solidarité)

- Statistic: Low-income parents, including single fathers, express an urgent need for psychological and educational support as they face precarious conditions. (Source: Le Monde)
