Young Residential Fathers Have Lower Earnings: Implications for Child Support Enforcement Social Work Research 21,4 (December 1997): 211-223 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Keyword(s): Child Support; Earnings; Education; Fathers, Absence; Fathers, Presence; Job Training; Male Sample; Work Hours/Schedule Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The study reported here used data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to compare the earnings and work efforts of young nonresidential fathers, residential fathers, and men without children. It found that nonresidential fathers earned less, had lower hourly wages, and worked fewer hours than the other groups of men, primarily because of lower levels of education and job training. These findings lead to the conclusion that obtaining sufficient child support payments from nonresidential fathers will require more than strengthening the enforcement of child support laws. Policy initiatives that foster greater educational and employment opportunities are required. ((c) 1998 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved): |
