The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda has announced a new employment initiative aimed at assisting unemployed fathers to meet their financial obligations to their children.
The program seeks to address the challenges faced by single mothers who struggle to receive adequate financial support for their children due to the fathers’ unemployment.
Under this new initiative, the government plans to place unemployed fathers in jobs within beautification groups and other sectors.
This move is designed to ensure that these fathers can earn an income, enabling them to provide financial support to their children as required by law.
The Cabinet emphasized that fathers have legal obligations to support their children, and this program aims to facilitate compliance with court-ordered deductions for child support.
