A significant percentage of American children are being raised by a grandparent. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, 2.74 million children in the United States were being raised by a grandparent in 2021. The USCB notes that such children were living with at least one grandparent who was responsible for most of their basic needs.
Grandparents also play a notable caregiving role in Canada, where Statistics Canada reports 1 in 5 unpaid caregivers in 2022 reported providing roughly 15 hours of care each week to a grandchild or grandchildren over the previous 12 months.
Though the figures from the USCB suggest a growing number of grandparents have taken on caregiving roles in recent years, data indicates that such increases are generally applicable only to older grandparent caregivers. Indeed, the USCB reports that the number of grandparent caregivers between the ages of 30 and 59 declined between 2009 and 2021, while the number of grandparent caregivers ages 60 and older increased during that 12-year period.
