Title:
Race and Ethnicity in Grandparent Households
Brief Description:
The researchers will conduct a demographic analysis of grandparent households, focusing on
differences in prevalence and characteristics of these households by race and ethnicity.
The Census Bureau developed questions included in the 2000 Census of Population about
grandparents who were responsible for their grandchildren living in the same household,
allowing systematic national assessment of this issue for the first time. Based on these
data, this project examines grandparent households that include no parents
("skipped-generation" households) as well as the much larger pool of grandparent
households that include at least one parent ("three-generation" households).
Dissemination of the data to a wide range of researchers in the academic and policy
communities will further advance the understanding of grandparent families.
