Time to Care: Generation generosity under pressure

New research by Ipsos MORI, jointly commissioned by Grandparents Plus, Save the Children and the Family and Childcare Trust, investigates the impact of being a grandparent on people’s attitudes and choices, and whether these are further influenced by the amount of time spent caring for their grandchildren.

The research shows that, although being a grandparent in itself does not significantly influence people’s actions and attitudes, being a grandparent who spends a substantial amount of time caring for grandchildren is often associated with different attitudes and behaviours.
