Brady explained that in countries where single-mother households are less likely to be poor, the government steps in to help.

“If it’s just the case that single mothers fundamentally are disadvantaged, and there’s nothing we can do about it, then you would expect in other countries single mothers would be poor too, right?”

Brady argued that if single motherhood inherently caused poverty, single mothers would be poor in other countries too.
