Abstract

This study is aimed to investigate the effects of grand-parenting on mother's work participation. The data used came from SUPAS 2015 and were analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression. The unit of analyses is women aged 15-54 years who are in union, live with their husbands or spouses and have children aged 12 years old or younger. The results of this study show that the presence of grandparent in a family gives a positive influence on a mother's chances to work both in formal and informal sectors, even when grandparents are not involved in grand-parenting. The effect is greater when grandparents participate in "momong cucu" (childcare), in the form of grand-parenting
