Baby Boomers take active role in grandparenting
Baby Boomers increasingly become parents again to grandchildren as grandparents raise kin. Phyllis Tillinghast of ECKAAA cites Census data showing 5.7 million U.S. grandparents live with grandchildren and 2.4 million are responsible for them. An AARP survey finds 70 percent expect to become grandparents and 57 percent plan to live near a child in retirement.
