Grandchildren Living in Grandparent-Headed Households, 2022
View through CrossRef
In recent decades, a growing share of children reside in grandparent-headed households (Wu, 2018). This Family Profile uses data from the child’s perspective in the American Community Survey to chart grandchildren living in grandparent-headed households since 2008. Here, we focus on differentiating between multigenerational grandparent-headed households (parent present) and skipped-generation grandparent-headed households (no parent present). We then describe variation in these grandparent-headed households by minor children’s age, household economic disadvantage, and race/ethnicity. This profile is the first in our updated series on grandparenthood.
