State
The feminization of poverty is the pattern in which women are disproportionately represented among the poor, driven by care obligations, occupational segregation, and lone-parent household structure.
Show
Households headed by a lone mother face poverty at markedly higher rates than other households.
Watch for
The pattern is structural, and it is not explained by differences in individual effort.
