We used data from the Birth to Twenty Cohort study to understand children's receipt of financial support from their fathers in a low income, Black community in urban South Africa. Specifically, we (1) described fathers' financial support over the life course of children; (2) estimated survival probabilities of for all children and for children who experienced a parental union dissolution; and (3) identified factors that explained variation in the receipt of support after a union dissolution. Results suggest that most children received full or partial support throughout the life course. Furthermore, a high proportion of children received support after a union dissolution with much of the variation driven by pre-dissolution support, father's education and the presence of extended kin.
我们使用了“从出生到二十岁队列研究”的数据，以了解南非城市低收入黑人社区中儿童从父亲那里获得经济支持的情况。具体而言，我们（1）描述了儿童成长过程中父亲的经济支持情况；（2）估计了所有儿童以及经历父母关系解体的儿童的生存概率；（3）确定了解释关系解体后获得支持差异的因素。结果表明，大多数儿童在整个成长过程中都获得了全部或部分支持。此外，很大一部分儿童在父母关系解体后仍获得支持，其中大部分差异是由解体前的支持、父亲的教育程度以及大家庭亲属的存在所驱动的。
