Abstract:
Presents findings from an evaluation of Fathers at Work, a national demonstration designed to help low-income noncustodial fathers increase their employment and earnings, become more involved in their children's lives, and provide them with more consistent financial support. The Fathers at Work programs offered a unique combination of job training and placement, child support, and fatherhood services at six well-established community-based organizations across the country. Suggests that the programs produced important benefits for participants, including increased earnings and child support payment. Details the specific strategies Fathers at Work programs used and explores the policy implications of this research.
