摘要：This article addresses the correlation between family changes and employment in married and divorced fathers in Israel. Questionnaire data were collected from 101 married fathers and 101 divorced fathers. Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze the findings, which indicate that divorced fathers invest more in family and are more involved in household and child care tasks than when they were married, and in comparison with the married fathers who participated in the study. This investment leads to decreased performance at work, that is, fathers who invest in their families earn less, and their promotion prospects are reduced. This is an important finding both in terms of the causal process that was tested and corroborated in the study, and in light of claims that the life chances of children from divorced families are lower than those of children from “regular” families.
