The role of fathers in development in early and middle childhood
This event will present results from a new study of fathers drawing on the Growing Up in Ireland study. The report documents the nature and the quality of father-child relationships from infancy to middle childhood and examines the role of fathers in children’s outcomes. The study is part of a research programme with the Department of Equality, Children, Disability, Integration and Youth. The report will be launched by Minister Roderic O’Gorman.
