Overall the report suggested that globally eight out of ten lone parents households are run by women itself i.e. (84.3%). And the data that was procured from 89 countries constituted that 101.3 million households are run by single mothers all over the world. A lot of other single mothers are living with an extended family.
Guess it is not a man’s world after all.
