• Demographic Trends in the United States: A Review of Research in the 2000s (2010, background): “…partners were less likely, according to one study, to say that they had family or friends they could count on for social support, such as a small loan or a place to stay—although whether the lack of support is a cause or an effect of multiple partner fertility is unclear (Harknett & Knab, 2007).”
• The Evolution of Fathering Research in the 21st Century: Persistent Challenges, New Directions (2020, background): “Harknett and Knab (2007) suggested the logistics of parenting multiple children residing in different households make it difficult for fathers to address adequately the caregiving needs of all of their children.”
