Magister Artium (Development Studies) - MA (DVS) / Capabilities as espoused by Sen are the realizable opportunities that are open to an individual
that enable her to be or do that which she finds reasonably valuable. This study assessed the
work-care arrangement capabilities that single mothers in Gugulethu have at their disposal to
undertake a juggling arrangement schedule that they find satisfying (fulfilling). In this study,
single mothers were asked to affiliate themselves to one of three work-care arrangement
groups namely, work-centered, child-centered and flexible. Then, the study empirically
examined if there is a significant difference in respondents' work-care satisfaction within
these three groups. It accomplished this by using the Kruskal-Wallis Test.
The study then went on to identify the work-care arrangement capabilities of 7 single mothers
who were undertaking juggling arrangement schedules that were not of their preference or
choice. They were interviewed in this study to ascertain whether they had viable
opportunities/ capabilities to undertake their preferred juggling arrangement schedule, which
they believed would bring them much personal fulfilment/satisfaction.
