"The Changing Overlap of Generations"
Abstract
I explore how longer life and changes in childbearing influence the
presence of living mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers.
Simple one-sex demographic models developed by Lotka, Keyfitz and
others can be used to do comparisons between different stable
demographic regimes. I extend these slightly to consider varying
demographic rates. A further extension considers the health status of
kin as measured by the years left they have to live. I illustrate
these models using demographic rates from Italy and the
United States.
Issues I will discuss include: the prevalence of the sandwich
generation (women responsible for their own children and ailing
parents); the availability of nanny grandmothers (those in good health
who can help take care of grandchildren); and the prevalence of 4
generation families.
In some ways, the current time may be a "Golden Age of
Grandmotherhood." High survival, relatively short generation lengths
of the past, and low labor force participation enable women now in the
50s and 60s and 70s to be highly active grandmothers. In the future,
longevity gains may be counterbalanced by older ages at becoming a
grandmother and (perhaps) later ages of retirement.
