Have the bad old days when a woman had to be thick skinned above all else to make it as a lone parent really gone?

Jenni is joined by Kate Green who runs the National Council for One Parent Families and Robert Whelan, Deputy Director of Civitas to discuss whether the stigma of being a lone parent has really gone away or just been driven underground.
