Singles as a lifestyle

Abstract

The bachelor thesis on the topic "Singles as a lifestyle" deals with the matters of single mothers and the look of social workers on this theme. In the teoretical part, I shortly described how was the family developing with time, it´s functions and the role of woman and man in this group. Then I was dealing with the family of mother - the only breadwinner - and it´s structure. With modern family and divorce in these days and the lifestyle of single mother and hers voluntary and involuntary entry to this lifestyle. The aim of this work was to find out, how the social workers perceive the group of single mothers and what is their role in this issue. To achieve this aim, two researching questions were asked. These questions find out, how the social workers look on the issue of single mothers, and which role they have in this topic. In the practical part, there are the results of the research, which was made with social workers of the organization SPOD in České Budějovice. From these results we can see that this issue is not well spread in South Bohemian region. Social workers regard as the main problem the unentered name of the father in the child´s birth certificate, which can cause troubles to mother and the social workers in the future. Then they mention, that their main duty is to offer consultancies or case´s conference within the framework of social work with family. Above all I hope, that this work increase the awarness about this topic, raise the interest of other students and colleagues for social work branch, to deal with this issue
