Description: Grandmothers at Work : Juggling Families and Jobs, Paperback by Meyer, Madonna Harrington, ISBN 0814729479, ISBN-13 9780814729472, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This book examines how working grandmothers who share care for their grandchildren juggle their work and childrearing responsibilities. The author interviewed 48 of these grandmothers in the US and also analyzed the Health and Retirement Survey 2010 to understand how many grandmothers in the US were working and tending to grandchildren, what determined who did so, and its impact. She focuses on the theme of joy and second changes, as the grandmothers felt happiness in spending time with their grandchildren, and describes how grandmothering has become more intensive, how working grandmothers balance work and carework and deal with finances, factors that limit care, and the impact of balancing work and childcare on emotional, social, and physical well-being.
