FATHERHOOD & PARENTING

Researchers in the Fatherhood & Parenting Area investigate family relationships that influence a child's development from birth through the transition to adulthood.

We look at fatherhood and marriage to understand the ways in which they affect child well-being. 

We also study and provide perspectives on family strengths

M. E. Scott, N. R. Steward-Streng, J. Manlove, K. A. Moore
June 2012
This Research Brief presents a statistical portrait of teen fathers’ characteristics at the time that their first child was born; their union status at the birth of that child (i.e., whether they were married, cohabiting, or not in a relationship); their subsequent experience fathering a child, if any; and their residential status at birth and in young adulthood (i.e., whether they were or were not living with their children).
