Takeaway: Beyond socio-demographic factors, personality influences grandparental childcare

Methodological implication: account for personality in studies on determinants or effects of grandchild care

Fixed-effect model may (partially) account for personality given its stability

Bruno Arpino @brunoarpino.bsky.social · 15d

Results in brief: Personality matters.

Openness, conscientiousness, extraversion & agreeableness → higher likelihood of grandchild care provision

conscientiousness (and mildly neuroticism) → higher likelihood of weekly care.

Data: SHARE waves 7–8, 27 European countries
