In this article the author relates about the social status and difficulties facing single–parent families in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The article is based on a research project wherein theoretical and empirical studies were conducted with focus upon three groups: single – parent families as a consequence of the war, single –parent families as a result of divorce and single – parent families as a result of a fatal accident or natural death. Among the main aims of the project was to see what is the social status of single –parent family of these three groups; legislative provisions regarding these groups and their own perception of their social status and difficulties they face in their efforts to keep their family functional. The article also presents a short assessment of results of the questionnaire that was carried out on a sample of a hundred single – parent families of Tuzla Canton, Brčko District and the municipality of Tešanj (Zenica -Doboj Canton).
