JAKARTA, KOMPAS – Government assistance programs and public service remain out of reach for female breadwinners from the low-income class who live with their relatives of parents.
Some of these female breadwinners had returned to their parents’ home after their husband left, divorced them or died. Some of these women returned to their parents’ home without their divorce letter or other population document, such as family card or ID card. Their children do not have birth certificates.
