La monoparentalité à Kinshasa : analyse de la construction sociale, de la perception et des effets d’un format des familles amputée

We analyze through this study, the phenomenon of single parenthood and its inevitable corollary which is poverty as it manifests itself in the city province of Kinshasa based on the observation that single parent families are more and more numureous in the city province where they face serious survival problems. The structure of single-parent households in Kinshasa is divided between single, widowed, separated or divorced. The number of children living in single-parent families is encreasing throughout the city and province of Kinshasa. In this evolution, we’ve seen that the younger the children are, the more they live with their mother and, the older they are, the more they live with their father.
