Abstract

The procedure for dealing with overindebtedness has been in existence for 30 years. Women have long been more vulnerable to it than men. In recent years, the overindebtedness procedure has affected the most financially vulnerable individuals, notably women raising children on their own. They account for 26% of overindebted women, almost three times their share in the total female population. La procédure de traitement du surendettement a 30 ans. De longue date, les femmes y sont plus vulnérables que les hommes. Au cours des dernières années, le surendettement s’est concentré sur les personnes les plus fragiles financièrement, notamment les cheffes de famille monoparentale. Elles représentent 26 % des femmes surendettées, presque trois fois plus que leur proportion dans la population féminine totale.
