The author surveyed 1,000 white women with black kids in the United States. Major findings:
>98% of the mothers do not receive any financial support from the father
>97% of the children are born out of wedlock
>97% of respondents say that the father is not active in the child's life
>94% say that the child does not have a good relationship with the father
>In 80% of cases, they never get married
>90% earn less than $10,000 USD
>82% end up on government assistance
>This study examines the birth trends, family structure, economic standing, paternal relationships, and emotional stability of biracial children with African American fathers. For study implementation quantitative research methods were used. Questions were asked through a questionnaire that was administered to 1000 women spanning the united States that were equally ranging from 3 different racial groups; Caucasian, Asian, and Hispanic. Participants were recruited through the internet, radio, and news. This study finds that 92% of biracial children with African American fathers are born out of wedlock and 82% end up on government assistance. The results of this study make it very clear that biracial children with African American fathers are fatherless on a scale much larger than the public may realize.
