Social Security

That is absolutely right. It is important that we continue to assist lone parents to move out of poverty and into work and to ensure that their children get a better future. That is one of the Department's key objectives. Our aim of providing help to lone parents has involved putting in a lot of resources, but it has been successful to date and we need to improve further still our ability to help lone parents. We are reducing the age level at which we want lone parents to move into employment, because we want their children to have the benefit of having parents who have jobs and who are able to lift their future—to raise the eyes of their children so that they can see a future of hope and of jobs and of a route out of poverty.
