Reports findings of a national study of low-income coresident grandmothers & grandchildren, 1967-1992, using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience, Mature Women's Cohort (N = 5,083 US women, ages 30-44, in 1967). Respondents were first interviewed in 1967, & were continuously interviewed until 1992. Results indicate a small increasing minority of women residing with their grandchildren in low-income families over the study period, although the proportion of those who did declined as they reached retirement age. More than 50% of ever-coresident, low-income grandmothers (N = 776) were second-generation parents for 3+ years; the majority (64%) were black. Among ever-coresident, low-income grandmothers in 1992 (N = 521), being black & being single increased the likelihood of being a second-generation parent. Previous low-income coresidency also predicted low-income coresidency in 1992. Further, older low-income second-generation parents were more likely to reside in skipped vs three-generation families, as were those outside the South. It is argued that low-income coresident grandmothers may be adversely affected by time limits associated with the Personal Responsibility & Work Opportunities Act of 1996 (PRA). Changes to the PRA & the Earned Income Tax Credit are discussed. 3 Tables, 1 Figure, 30 References. Adapted from the source document. |
