The Role of Grandparents in the 21st Century

Across the world, the role of grandparents is changing. This book highlights the changing roles, and the consequences of these changes, for both grandchildren and grandparents, by drawing together leading international authorities on grandparenting and intergenerational relations.

The book includes scholarly summaries of research as well as new research findings. It should be an invaluable resource for other scholars and students investigating the role of grandparents today.

This book was originally published as a special issue of Contemporary Social Science.

Contemporary Issues in Social Science

Series editor:DavidCanter,University of Huddersfield, UK

Contemporary Social Science, the journal of the Academy of Social Sciences, is an interdisciplinary, cross-national journal which provides a forum for disseminating and enhancing theoretical, empirical, and/or pragmatic research across the social sciences and related disciplines. Reflecting the objectives of the Academy of Social Sciences, it emphasises the publication of work that engages with issues of major public interest and concern across the world and highlights the implications of that work for policy and professional practice.

The Contemporary Issues in Social Science book series contains the journals most cutting-edge special issues. Leading scholars compile thematic collections of articles that are linked to the broad intellectual concerns of Contemporary Social Science, and as such these special issues are an important contribution to the work of the journal. The series editor works closely with the guest editor(s) of each special issue to ensure they meet the journals high standards. The main aim of publishing these special issues as a series of books is to allow a wider audience of both scholars and students from across multiple disciplines to engage with the work of Contemporary Social Science and the Academy of Social Sciences.
