Dorius found that having children by more than one man is a phenomenon that impacts all racial, income and educational sub-groups. It is tied to marriage and divorce as well as single parenthood.
The impact of multiple partner fertility is important, she said.
"Raising children who have different fathers is a major factor in the intergenerational transmission of disadvantage," Dorius said in a news release. "Juggling all of the different needs and demands of fathers in at least two households, four or more pairs of grandparents, and two or more children, creates a huge set of chronic stressors that families have to deal with for decades."
It should be noted the study had over 4700 participates over the course of 27 years, very intensive.
