Creating a “single -parent family” card: the high childhood commissioner, Sarah El Haïry, is favorable. Here are the main lines of the project, already defended in 2023 by another deputy.
Inspired by the model of the Family Family Card, which grants reductions to homes with at least three children, a new card intended for parents raising their children alone could be put in place. This device, called “single -parent family card”, would aim to simplify the formalities and bring a financial boost to solo parents, from the first child. The initiative, defended by the former Parisian deputy Fanta Berete (Renaissance) in 2023, returns today to the front of the stage thanks to the assertive support of Sarah El Haïry, high childhood commissioner. Tuesday, May 20, 2025, during a day dedicated to single parenting and poverty, organized by the UDAF of Var, she declared that she was “favorable” has “Recognition of single parenting in society”.
What advantages could the solo parents benefit from?
Invited to the RMC antenna on Thursday, May 22, 2025, the former delegate responsible for childhood, youth and families recalled that“We have 3 million children in France who live in a single -parent family, with mainly solo mothers”, who do not always come out with a single salary. So to help these families, this card would be accessible “From the first child” And “Without seeing the question of income”. Here are the advantages offered by this card “single -parent families”, presented by the deputy fancy berte at the time:
Facilitate administrative procedures
This card “must allow the families concerned to‘attest to their status without having to show their family book or the act of the court attesting to the separation of the parents“, said the former member for the La Croix newspaper.
Economic advantages and discounts
The deputy also wanted to grant solo parents “Discounts in supermarket chains or clothing marks (…) and why not a Help for electricity bills“.
Priority places in crèche
Solo parents could, with this card, benefit from Places reserved in crèche, but also for extra-curricular activities. “In Paris, in September, to register your children in sport, you have to get into long queues during open days to hope to get a place. Often, parents are dividing the task. But the solo parent cannot split”, underlined Fanta Berete.
Priority solo parents for holidays
When she defended this project, the deputy proposed a Priority to solo parents for the choice of holidays in business. She also wanted the days of “sick children” vacation to be increased without taking into account the resources of isolated parents.
