SUMMARY:SEMILUX - The Impact of Widowhood on Grandchild Care Provision: A Longitudinal Study
DESCRIPTION:SEMILUX is back!\n\nSEMILUX: Monthly seminar on social inequality and public policies\n\nThe University, LIS Datacenter and LISER invite you for a monthly seminar on social inequality and public policies, which will be held in person and online.\n\nAbstract\n\nThis study explores the impact of transitioning to widowhood on the provision of grandchild care among European grandparents, with a focus on gender differences. Using longitudinal data from the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), encompassing 7,661 person-observations from 2,518 individuals aged 50 and older, we apply fixed-effects regression models to examine within-person changes in caregiving behavior. Our analysis reveals a positive association between widowhood and increased caregiving among grandmothers, while no statistically significant effect is observed among grandfathers, whose caregiving tends to decrease. These findings provide new insights into how widowhood shapes grandparental caregiving roles and highlight the need to address gender-specific experiences in family research and policy.\n\nIf you would like to present your work at SEMILUX, please contact enrico.nichelatti@uni.lu.\n\nRead more: https://www.uni.lu/fhse-en/events/semilux-the-impact-of-widowhood-on-grandchild-care-provision-a-longitudinal-study/
