Perceptions and experiences with biological father absence might vary
depending on the extent to which father absence constitutes a common
family form, like it does in many Caribbean countries. The goal of this
qualitative study was to better understand what it means to grow up without
a father for Curaçaoan (n = 19; 15–24 years), Curaçaoan-Dutch (n = 15;
14–29 years), and Dutch (n = 16; 16–26 years) young men and women.
