New right takes a negative view on many social policies as they see them as undermining the traditional nuclear family. The are particularly critical of welfare benefits that are given to single parent families because they believe that it is encouraging young women to get pregnant because they know the state will look after them and their child. They think that single parent families should be discouraged and the nuclear family encouraged. One way to this is to reduce or eliminate the benefits given to single parents whilst making the nuclear family and marriage more financially attractive. They are critical of divorce and think that it is a quick way out instead of fighting for their marriage.
