Good news for single-parent families

Until now, the complement of the free choice of the mode of guard (CMG) has been an aid of the CAF for children of less than 6 years, under condition of resources. It therefore typically stops during the first year of primary school. 

However, on September 20, Jean-Christophe Combe, Minister of Solidarity, announced that the CMG would now be accessible to "single-parent families for children aged 6 and 11", i.e., the start of secondary school. The measure was presented in the "social security" section of the new government budget and should be effective in 2023.

24.7 % of families touched by this new measure

Excellent news for the single-parent families who will be able to benefit from this help to have their children looked after by a childcare agency, such as Mômji. 

“This is an extremely strong social measure”, added Jean-Christophe Combe, pointing out that "30% of single-parent families are in poverty”.

Between 2011 and 2020, the number of single-parent families increased by 3% and now constitute 24.7% of families in France*.
