  abstract = {Despite the growing scholarly attention to fathers{\textquoteright} roles in family life, the consequences of fathers{\textquoteright} involvement with children for men{\textquoteright}s well-being have been little explored. Using data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (N=3,880), we evaluate how fathers{\textquoteright} involvement (time, engagement and responsibility) is linked to fathers{\textquoteright} well-being with respect to health and mental health, social integration, and economic outcomes. We evaluate resident and non-resident fathers separately, using data from three survey waves about 1, 3 and 5 years after a baby{\textquoteright}s birth. Our results indicate that fathers{\textquoteright} involvement is not strongly related to paternal health and mental health, but greater involvement is linked with better relationship quality with the child{\textquoteright}s biological mother for both resident and nonresident fathers. With respect to economic outcomes, there is modest evidence that greater involvement is linked to lower earnings for resident fathers{\textemdash}and to higher earnings for non-resident fathers.},
