The Dynamics of Young Fatherhood: Understanding the Parenting Journeys and Support Needs of Young Fathers


Add your own review!

Overview

Around 1 in 10 children born in the UK are fathered by men under the age of 25. These men are often from socially disadvantaged areas and frequently overlooked in both research and practice settings. Using findings from a major Economic and Social Research Council study, supplemented with additional data, the authors focus on the transitions of the young men into early parenthood and their unfolding lives thereafter. As negative popular and media discourse around young fathers begins to shift, policymakers, practitioners, researchers and students will find future policy and practice directions designed to nurture the potential of these young men and their children.

Reviews

“One of the most important books on adolescent and young adult fathers ever published. Moving interviews document how young fatherhood is shaped by personal, familial, institutional and societal influences, illuminating factors that facilitate or impede their efforts to be engaged, caring parents and the implications for medical and social services and public policy.” Mark S. Kiselica, Penn State Harrisburg
