   ...difficulties in entering the labour market. This explanation is supported anecdotally. 9. It may be difficult to understand why a widower or man alone is necessarily in a significantly different position than a widow or woman alone with the same responsibilities.

She did so without her client understanding the reality that the services he paid for would be unlikely to improve his position and in circumstances where it was her responsibility to ensure he understood this.
