Children with both parents at home earning two incomes tend to have better financial and educational advantages. The effects of a single-parent home on a child's behavior can be significant and impact several areas of life, including academic achievement and social behaviors (US Census Bureau, 2012). Due to financial problems, the child may drop out of school and decide to live a dangerous life. After the research was conducted, my results showed that most single parents in Belmopan do not earn enough income, which forces children to drop out of school, commit illegal acts and not benefit from benefits. an education. Most single parents are mothers whose husbands have died or disowned the children. Most mothers said it was difficult to take on the responsibilities of a mother and father, but they had to be strong. Growing up with only one parent leads to having children out of wedlock and difficulty maintaining employment as young adults. Other consequences include risks to psychological development, social behavior and gender roles.
