Podcast: The Importance of Fathers
Vincent Coglianese /
Despite differences and variations, fathers often represent a formative influence in our personal development. These days, though, it has become increasingly common for a child to be fathered by a man who isn’t married to the child’s mother – and may never get to know his son or daughter.
Robert Rector, Heritage’s senior research fellow for domestic policy studies, steps up to the microphone for a special Father’s Day conversation on this hidden cause of childhood poverty in America. In the resulting audio podcast, Rector talks about the need for society to place great emphasis on the importance of married fathers.
Listen in for this Father’s Day edition of the “Heritage in Focus” podcast, titled “Robert Rector on Married Fathers: America’s Greatest Weapon Against Child Poverty.”
