Motherhood is something many Australian women will undertake, yet here in a country with a highly developed economy mothers still face many structural barriers due to raising the next generation of citizens. 

In this episode Melinda McMillan talks to Rebecca Glenn, CEO of the Centre for Women's Economic Safety, to better understand the impact motherhood has on women's economic safety.  Also in this episode, Melinda talks to Jenny Davidson, CEO of the Victorian Council of Single Mothers and Their Children, to explore the impact the dismantling of the welfare system is having on women with children.
