| Annotation | This study examines the association between providing care for grandchildren and the economic status of grandparents, focusing on the employment status. Two questions are asked. First, is providing care for grandchildren related to Korean grandparents' employment status? Second, are the intensities of providing care for grandchildren related to grandparents' employment status? In examining these research questions, the focus is on gender and caregiving intensity. The findings suggest that providing care for grandchildren is associated with Korean grandmothers' employment status. In addition, there are different relationships between providing care for grandchildren and grandparents' employment status according to the caregiving intensities. (RH). |
