This research utilizes data from the 1979 through 1986 rounds of the National Longitudinal Survey of Work Experience of Youth to (1) examine the dynamics of father's presence/absence during a child's first few years of life and (2) consider the extent to which overt father present/absence statistics mask a continuing contact with the child's father or other potential father figure.
