Preferred term

National Fatherhood Initiative  

Definition

  • THE NATIONAL Fatherhood Initiative (NFI) was created in 1994 to lead a societywide movement (in the United States) to challenge the issue of father ab-sence—that is, the problems caused when fathers are not living with their families. These problems include those relating to low income, but also higher tendencies for failing at school and in society and lack of positive role models, thereby leading to repeated father absence in subsequent generations. [Source: Encyclopedia of World Poverty; National Fatherhood Initiative]
