Résumé
Les études de cas où les pères s’impliquent dans l’éducation de leurs enfants sont généralement basées sur ce qu’en disent ces derniers, sur les appréciations des femmes ou sur ce que disent les enfants par rapport à l’implication des hommes. Cette étude baséee sur les déclarations des enfants, des femmes et des hommes se penche sur le soutien apporté par les hommes aux enfants âgés de 9 à 10 ans vivant dans la zone rurale du KwaZulu-Natal. Des interviews poussées ont été menés auprès de groupes d’études constitués de vingt enfants, vingt femmes s’occupant de dépendants proches et seize pères/ou figures de pères nommés par les enfants dans vingt foyers sélectionnés au hasard. Il a été établi que la présence des hommes est importante dans la vie des enfants. La désignation de celui qui fait figure de père par tous les enfants, même s’il ne s’agit pas de leurs pères biologiques, est la preuve irréfutable que tous les enfants reçoivent une forme de soutien de la part des hommes. Nos données permettent de souligner l’influence des liens biologiques, de la cohabitation, du réseau social familial et du mariage, ou tout au moins, de l’impact des rapports entre pères et mères sur l’implication des pères dans l’éducation de leurs enfants – du point de vue à la fois financier et de la qualité de leurs interactions. Cette étude améliore les méthodologies et examine de près les questions relatives à la validité, la fiabilité et aux relations réciproques qu’entretiennent enfants et pères ainsi que les déclarations des femmes sur l’implication des hommes dans le soutien apporté aux enfants dans le contexte sud-africain. L’étude a mis au jour les systèmes locaux informels de soutien à la famille et la diversité des contributions faites par les hommes pour soutenir les enfants. Ainsi, l’étude produit une base de recherche pour étudier l’implication locale des pères et à des fins de comparaison future.
