Abstract: This article results from the author’s work in reviewing a number of studies, carried out in a wide range of countries, that examined factors determining fathers’ commitment to their children, and theories which could explain patterns of commitment. It is extracted from Patrice Engle’s contribution to Wealth and Well-being by R Blumburg and others, and concentrates on ‘non-western’ countries and/or cultures. The original article also contains a highly detailed summary of two studies, one in Nicaragua, the other in Guatemala.
