In Taiwan, public attitudes towards single motherhood maintain an underlying negativity, a sentiment that bleeds into all areas of society and often results in stigmatization and poverty. Despite such a generally dejected societal position, the incidence of single mothers in Taiwan has increased by 55% in the last decade due to many factors. Such an increase in occurrence has not necessarily elicited a similar effect on acceptance, with Taiwanese single mothers consistently reporting a lack of social support and feelings of helplessness.

The results make clear the urgent need for legislative changes assisting single-mother families' access to higher education while also addressing their financial difficulties. The study proposes that single moms could enhance their ability to manage their duties and make educational investments for their children by expanding the availability of reasonably priced daycare, providing flexible work arrangements, and augmenting social welfare assistance. Furthermore, the study emphasizes how critical it is to change cultural perceptions of gender roles in order to establish a more encouraging atmosphere that supports single moms' and their kids' pursuit of higher education as well as their own personal growth. The study offers insightful information about how to improve the educational results and learning opportunities for this vulnerable population through focused assistance and legislative reforms.
