Grandparents step in as childcare costs soar
Original: grandparent
Grandparents are increasingly taking on caregiving duties as families struggle with the soaring cost of childcare. The report highlights how rising nursery fees and limited childcare places are pushing parents to rely on grandparents for regular care, with many older people effectively becoming unpaid, full-time or near-full-time caregivers. Families say the arrangement saves them significant money, but campaigners warn it can place a financial and health strain on older relatives.
Why now: Rising childcare costs are forcing families to depend on grandparents, making the caregiving burden a timely talking point.
