“…In a study conducted in China, compared to the older generation, younger fathers were more conscious of providing a 'pathway' for their children that contained the notion of planning ahead in terms of their thinking about their schooling, job, and marriage (Huang, 2014).

Some of these studies were conducted in early childhood and some in adolescence, and it was observed that contemporary fathers exhibit different fatherhood perspectives in different periods of childhood.…”
