Becoming a young breadwinner? the education, employment and training trajectories of young fathers / [electronic resource] : Bren Neale, Laura Davies. - pp. 85-98. - Themed section on young fatherhood: lived experiences and policy challenges. .
The entry into fatherhood is a major life course transition involving the acquisition of new adult roles and responsibilities. This transition is rarely planned for young fathers, and may involve a range of challenges, not least their capacity to provide materially and financially for their child. Drawing on a Qualitative Longitudinal study of young fathers in the UK, this article charts their very different pathways through education, training and employment, showing how these are shaped by a constellation of life circumstances. The implications for policy are considered in the light of a shifting landscape of welfare reform and ‘austerity’ measures.
