Opportunities and limitations of poor South African fathers: the Child Support Grant and the capabilities of fathers to practice fatherhood in South Africa

Abstract

The objective of this research is to enhance understanding on how fathers perceive their fatherhood and if they see the CSG facilitating or constraining their opportunities as a father. This broadens the knowledge about the impact of the CSG by which policymakers can be informed. The data can also help to develop other appropriate interventions for poor fathers.
