 Hello, everyone. I'm Frazlana Ijezi. My presentation is about single parents in Iwan. I have master degree in sociology from Shahad University. I deeply appreciate the society for the study of social problems for such a well-planned and well-executed conference. Introduction. There are two types of family structure. The nuclear family is generally composed of a father, a mother, and children because the nuclear family is based on marriage. The extended families contain children, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and grandchildren because it is based on blood ties. Nowadays, single parent is a social issue for countries, especially during COVID-19. A single parent is an inevitable phenomenon. In Iwan, due to divorce and the COVID-19 pandemic, children was one of their parents. Therefore, single parent has increased. Single parents and children face obstacles, pressures, and difficulties. Today, in Iwan, family life has changed. Life and work as a single parent in Iwan can be extremely stressful for children and women. Single parent families in Iwan suffer from multiple problems. The research question is how do single parents in Iwan and what will happen to the children? The theoretical framework. The theory is functional. The family is the basic institution of society. The family performs many significant functions. First, it prepares the initial learning experiences that make people human. Second, to provide warm atmosphere for social needs. Third, it is the only legitimate source of reproduction for society. Fourth, it regulates sexual activity. Fifth, it plays people in a social class of birth. Eventually, the family serves as an essential economic function. The method of my research is the case study. And I use documents released by Iranian institutions to conduct my research. I think so single parent in Iwan has some effects on parents and children. Powerfully, the situation of the economy in Iwan, the wars, the COVID-19 and employment have an impact on single parents in Iwan. Based on Iranian reports before the COVID-19 pandemic in 2016, 7.2% in Iwan were single parent families. 17% of single parent households in the country have a malehood and 83% of these households have a femalehood. It shows living from women in Iwan will be so difficult. The general population and housing census in Iwan was initially conducted once every 10 years. But from 2006 onwards, it was decided to conduct the census once every 5 years, which wasn't done last year for some reasons. According to Iranian news, at least 51,000 children in Iran have lost their parents due to COVID-19. These children are facing economic hardship and psychological problems. Based on functionalist theory, the social needs of children aren't provided in single parent families. Divorce and mortality have increased the number of single parent families in Iran. We are in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and aren't able to predict exactly what happened next. However, we could create practical solutions. In Iran welfare should use practical and effective policies for children who lost their parents in the COVID-19 era. The government must create solutions for single parents in the COVID-19 era because they are more under economic pressure. Practical premarital counseling should be increased in Iran to reduce the phenomenon of divorce. These are patient references and these are patient and English references. Thank you for your attention.
