The Dynamics of Young Fatherhood
Policy Press (Verlag)
978-1-4473-5171-9 (ISBN)
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, policy makers, practitioners, researchers and students will find future policy and practice directions designed to nurture the potential of these young men and their children.
Anna Tarrant is Associate Professor in Sociology at the University of Lincoln and is a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow.
