| Annotation | This introduction to seven other articles in this special issue of the International Journal of Aging and Human Development draws attention not just to the range of research being conducted on grandparents as caregivers. It also points to diverse methodologies used, including cross-sectional surveys, secondary analysis of census data, large longitudinal studies, focus groups, and analyses of diaries. Four of the articles investigate populations that have previously received little attention in the grandparent caregiver literature: American grandfather caregivers; Native Canadian grandparents; Latino grandmothers in Southern California; and grandmothers raising grandchildren in rural Kenya.
