I'm curious to find out if children raised by single fathers have the same tendencies to be truant from school, to use drugs, to wind up pregnant before marriage and often before 18, and to drop out before graduating from High School as children raised by single mothers. If there's any research out there on this I'm very curious to see it.

  1. Here are some:


  2. "Investment theory is not supported: mothers’ resources do not benefit children’s scores more than father’s resources do, nor are single mothers more involved in schooling than single fathers are. Instead, the results are consistent with the individualistic perspective of gender: children in mother-present families have an advantage over children in mother-absent families independent of socioeconomic resources, educational expectations, or involvement in schooling."

    Couldn't find anything else, sorry. :(
