项目摘要

Policy makers and others are concerned that many young men today are only loosely attached to their children and their children's mothers. This concern has been fueled by rising rates of non-marital childbearing, delays in the age of marriage, increases in the share of children being raised in female-headed families, and the failure of some biological fathers to D'ovide economic support to their children. The aim of this proposal is to form a multi-disciplinary team of research collaborators who will meet on a regular basis to plan and conduct coordinated analyses on topics relating to the transition to fatherhood using multiple data sets. The four projects included in this proposal address the following related issues: 1. What are the economic, policy, psychological, and sociological factors that influence the timing of biological fatherhood and the circumstances under which fatherhood occurs? What is the role of men in the timing and circumstances of sexual initiation, contraceptive use, pregnancy, and childbearing? 2. What is the relationship between the transition to biological fatherhood and other transitions to adulthood, such as marriage, educational completion, and entry into the workforce? 3. What are the determinants of responsible fathering, and, in particular, what is the role of family process within and across generations? 4. What are the social, economic, policy, relationship and individual factors associated with men having additional births after they have already become fathers, and what factors lead men to have additional births, with more than one partner? Each project will conduct parallel analyses across multiple data sets, and similar data sets will be used across many of the projects. The data sets used in the four projects include National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 and 1979; Add Health; National Survey of Adolescent Males; National Survey of Family Growth; Fragile Families; Early Head Start; Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort; National Survey of Families and Households; Panel Study of Income Dynamics-CDS. Our strategy will enable us to obtain a much fuller understanding of the factors that influence the transition to fatherhood. We also propose two infrastructure cores: (A) Administration and Dissemination and (B) Data Management and Methodology.

政策制定者和其他人担心，如今许多年轻人对自己的生活依恋不深。孩子们和孩子们的母亲。非婚比率上升加剧了这种担忧生育、结婚年龄推迟、女性户主中抚养子女的比例增加家庭，以及一些亲生父亲未能为孩子提供经济支持。的目的该提案旨在组建一个由研究合作者组成的多学科团队，他们将定期开会，以使用多种数据对与父亲身份过渡相关的主题进行规划和协调分析套。该提案中包含的四个项目解决了以下相关问题： 1. 影响时机的经济、政策、心理和社会因素有哪些？亲生父亲身份以及父亲身份发生的情况？男人在其中扮演什么角色开始性行为、避孕措施、怀孕和生育的时间和情况？ 2. 向亲生父亲的转变与向成年的其他转变之间的关系是什么？例如婚姻、完成学业和进入劳动力市场？ 3. 负责任的父亲的决定因素是什么，特别是家庭过程的作用是什么几代人之内和几代人之间？ 4. 与男性有哪些相关的社会、经济、政策、关系和个人因素？成为父亲后的额外生育，以及哪些因素导致男性额外生育，与多个合作伙伴？每个项目都会跨多个数据集进行并行分析，并且会使用相似的数据集跨越许多项目。这四个项目使用的数据集包括全国纵向调查青年1997年和1979年；增加健康；全国青少年男性调查；全国家庭成长调查；脆弱的家庭；尽早开始；早期儿童纵向研究，出生队列；全国调查家庭和住户；收入动态的小组研究-CDS。我们的战略将使我们能够获得更全面地了解影响向父亲过渡的因素。我们还建议两个基础设施核心：(A) 管理和传播以及 (B) 数据管理和方法。
