| Annotation | Current estimates indicate that some 2.5 million American households are headed by grandparents. This article explores the development of this issue. It seeks to: explain why it is capturing the attention of some advocates, researchers and policy-makers; identify the challenges for grandparent-headed families; and explore public policies and programmes emerging from a developing intergenerational agenda directed at assisting such families.
