Grandparents' care and assistance to the elderly parents: is there a general tendency to care?
Original language description
Previous research has shown that people of middle-aged generation are the major providers of various support to their children, grandchildren and also elderly parents. Furthermore, middle-aged people are now expected to stay longer on the labor market than in the past. These multiple roles of the central generation raise questions about the potential overloading and conflict between roles within and outside the family. The presented study investigates if people who provide any assistance or help to their elderly parents tend to care for their grandchildren less than grandparents who don´t support their parents. Data from the four waves of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) are analyzed to test the effect of help which is provided to elderly parents on the care of grandchildren. Surprisingly, the results do not show that the help or care of parents constraint the care of grandchildren.
