Paternal wellbeing

◮ A small mountain of research here. ◮ Quantitative work suggests mostly harm – labor market,

family structure, civic engagement, and a host of others.

◮ Qualitative work quite similar – though maybe turning point.

Family functioning

◮ Not much. ◮ A couple good, fairly recent qualitative studies. ◮ Tend to suggest harm – at least in the long-term. ◮ Very little quantitative – financial contributions, maternal

support and hardships, and amount of paternal involvement.

◮ Again, point toward harm.

Child wellbeing

◮ A slightly smaller mountain than for adult men. ◮ Much more quantitative (which makes sense given IRB). ◮ I stress studies of young kids – easier for causal. ◮ Robust association with acting out – both as physical

aggression and externalizing – but less so for internalizing.

◮ Also pushes kids further to the margins – increases their risks

  • f homelessness and infant mortality, to name just a few.

The state of research on effects

◮ Used a host of strategies – covariate adjustment, propensity

scores, sample restrictions, fixed effects, and placebos.

◮ Still hard to be certain the effects are causal. ◮ In my opinion, this is just how social science is, but it

complicates suggestions in terms of what we should be doing.

Nonetheless, two suggestions (1)

◮ (1) Attend to social problems with policies that invest in the

poorest communities rather than with criminal justice policies.

◮ Cutting the imprisonment rate by 25 percent would lead to

400,000 less prisoners. At a rate of $24,000 per prisoners per year, that’s a savings of $9.6 billion. (Simplistic, I know.)

families are in dire straits and could use additional services.
