Description
Sarah Flood gave a 2023 talk on the data that scholars use to study grandparents in the United States. She draws on IPUMS, a large set of population records that covers the whole country. The talk asks what kinds of questions these records can and cannot answer well.
Flood reviews past work on how grandparent life varies by group and over time. She shows the ways scholars count homes with grandparents, such as three generation homes. She also notes a key limit: most records stress who lives together. One survey in the set tracks time use, so it can show what grandparents do with grandchildren who live elsewhere.
