Fathers not named

About 7 per cent of New Zealand children have no named father on their birth certificate.

In many cases the children know their father, but they are not named on the certificate to avoid paying child support.

So says the NZ Herald. Children are usually defined as people under 15, after which they become youths. There are around 900,000 so some 63,000 don't have a father named on their birth certificate. Perhaps they should fill in the space with "taxpayer".
