CHAPTER ONE
BACKGROUND TO THE
STUDY
Social welfare service are wide and they include a variety of public and
voluntary services such as education, health, community development, social
insurance, housing and other services directed to the disadvantaged group i.e.
the neglected, the dependent children, the physical hand capped, the deprived
for reasons of politics religious practices like those that tend confine women
to an everlasting life of privacy, those who due to the restriction placed on
their ways and are denied the opportunity of getting educated and thereby
growing up into adult literates and financially need.
According to plant . R.(1982): Social welfare services are required for the
improvement in the society effort to attain the objectives of higher levels of
social justices, social security, freedom and better quality of life as right
of each individual social welfare services could therefore be define as
the services designed to improved a lot of individual family ,groups and local
communities to enable them cope effectively with the social problems affecting
the constantly or rapidly changing society .the above definition was published
by the ministry of home affairs and information in 1971.
HISTORICAL FACTS
Social welfare
services were popularized by the British (colonial masters) immediately after
the Second World War they could not finance any developmental projects where
there was global economic recession vany longer.
According to Darie B C (1988): stated that in many loses, the causes of broken
home are linked to unnecessary family interference, the set of children (female
or male) mostly were male children are particularly preferred because of
emphasis on succession. Where female children dominate in marriage, less
attention are given to those children are sending them to school or paying of
school fees and provision of material or school requirement are problem.
According to Paul J II (1996) says that another factors that can lead to broken
home is polygamy where the man marries more than one which lead to having many
children. The first wife to be neglected due to unhealthy rivary from
other women and lack of love from their spouse ,pack out of such homes
undermining the consequences on their children.
In broken homes, children hardly related well with their parents, this can
affect them emotionally and psychologically. Broken homes or pre-mature
separation if allowed to persist for a long time it can lead girls to grow up
anxious and neurotic, while boys can be bullies and delinquent. This is why
social welfare services are needed so as to ease family relations problems and
such family problem like broken home.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
In the society today, issue of broken homes have becomes controversial and this
constitute a social problem. My strong emphasis is on Oredo Local Government
Area of Edo State.
Majority of the people are mainly illiterates, this situation constitute a
problem that harbor some element of superstitions. Some men believe that once
their wives or wife can not give birth to male child, the next thing is to look
for another wife not knowing that the fact is the male that determines the sex
of a child and not the female.
Also in a family where we have polygamy in operation, the husband tend to show
more love to one wife not minding what the reaction of the other wife or wives
would be, this action brings separation among family and can cause broken home.
Some people are suspicious of the services rendered by the social welfare
agents and they see no reason why such people should interfere in their family
problems.
Some are not willing to co-operate at all because they felt that social welfare
services are a mere waste ones time.
In course of this study we shall consider the role of social welfare services
on broken homes.
