Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anna is more likely to be poor than Brad because she is a single mother of two children with an unreliable source of income from child support. Brad is also a single parent with an unreliable source of income from child support, but his gender may give him a slight advantage in the job market and potential earning power compared to Anna. Additionally, single mothers often face more significant challenges and obstacles in the workforce and in accessing resources such as affordable childcare.
