How can parents and grandparents talk about uneven caregiving demands?
The analysis identifies patterns of stress reported by parents in multigenerational care. It invites questions about who carries which responsibilities.
Who was studied?
303 parents of preschool children in six urban Chinese kindergartens, in families that share care with grandparents.
Age / stage: Preschool years
Read with three questions
- How were the profiles constructed, and do they describe the grandparents' own experiences?
- Which measures came from the same participant, and which had an independent source?
- How might the division of care in a different household affect how the findings apply?
Keep the limits in view
A cross-sectional account measures variables in the same period. It cannot establish which came first; participants reporting more than one measure may also introduce shared reporting bias.
