In this paper, we explore the earning and caring experiences and trajectories of a cohort of seventeen young fathers in the context of COVID-19 pandemic. We examine continuities and change in their work and family arrangements, the impacts of these changes on their parenting trajectories and personal relationships, and the extent to which these experiences differ for young fathers who are resident and non-resident.
