Father Absence and Children's Achievement from Age 13 to 21.

Peer reviewed

Murray, Asa; Sandqvist, Karin – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 1990

The effects of fathers' absence from the home on their children's educational aptitude and achievement were studied for about 9,000 Swedish children from grade 6 to age 21 years, 15 percent of whom lived only with their mothers. Low achievement in the mathematical and technical spheres characterized those with no father in the home. (SLD)
