This study examines the association between becoming a father and men's asset accumulation trajectories. It is the first study to include nonmarried fathers in addition to married fathers. We used data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979 cohort (the 1979 and 1985-2000 wave) and multilevel modeling techniques to examine the research questions. Findings revealed that the association between fatherhood and men's total asset accumulation depended on marriage. Upon becoming fathers, married men increased their rates of asset accumulation. By way of contrast, unmarried men who became fathers had a decline in their rate of asset accumulation, on average. Race also moderated the association between fatherhood and asset accumulation.

2.	Consequences of Fatherhood for Young Men’s Relationships with Partners and Parents Research in Human Development 7,2 (2010): 103-122.

This paper examined how the onset and timing of the transition to fatherhood affects the type and quality of young men’s relationships with partners and parents. Data are drawn from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth – Young Adult Survey and included young men (ages 18–31 years old in 2006) who varied on residential status with their children and timing of fatherhood (N = 1,931). Results indicated the effects of fatherhood varied across types of fathers, with residential fathers more likely to be in a committed but less satisfactory relationship regardless of timing of fatherhood. Nonresidential fathers were more likely to have close relationships with their mothers and fathers, but findings varied by timing of fatherhood and gender of parent. Implications of these findings are framed in terms of young men’s developmental readiness for multiple demands of first-time fatherhood.

3.	Young Fathers at Work: The Influence of Parental Closeness and Contact on Employment Research in Human Development 7,2 (2010): 123-139. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15427609.2010.481537 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Taylor & Francis Group Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; CESD (Depression Scale); Child Self-Administered Supplement (CSAS); Crime; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Educational Attainment; Employment, Youth; Fathers and Sons; Fathers, Absence; Fathers, Influence; Fathers, Involvement; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Parental Influences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using data from 297 young fathers (ages 18 to 25) from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 Young Adult Survey, the authors examined the effects of self-reported closeness and contact with mothers and fathers during young adulthood on number of hours worked per week (first alone, then controlling for parent involvement during adolescence, then with background and risk factors). Young fathers' closeness to their fathers was associated with underemployment through all three models, and prior conviction predicted minimal work (0–19 hours). This suggests that young fathers receive critical emotional support from their own fathers during periods of underemployment in the transition to adulthood.
