Lone-parent allowance: a sensitive benefit - an analysis of the payment period
by Cédric Afsa
The lone-parent allowance (API in French) is a minimum welfare benefit paid for a limited length of time. It is designed for pregnant women and parents (usually women) bringing up their children alone. An analysis of data taken from the files of the family allowance funds that pay the allowance shows a wide dispersion of actual lengths of time for which the benefit is paid. Approximately 60% of the women stop receiving the lone-parent allowance early, before they come to the legal end of the benefit. The length of time for which the benefit is paid is also itself sensitive to various socio-demographic, individual and environmental factors (such as the local unemployment rate). In addition to this variability, qualitative studies have found heterogeneous behaviour. However, we are unable to observe this phenomenon with the data at our disposal.
