Children Living With Relatives

Children live with and are supported by relatives other than their birth parents for a number of reasons including abandonment, death or incarceration of one or both parents, financial problems or an abusive or neglectful home environment.  Many of the circumstances that lead to such a living arrangement can have a lasting emotional and psychological impact on the child.  

    • Of those grandparents living with and responsible for the care of their grandchildren:
       
  •  71% were under the age of 60

  • 68% were female

  • 64% were married (includes separated and spouse absent)

  • 59% were working

  • 81% were at or above the poverty level
     

  • Approximately 57% of grandchildren who were living with and under the responsibility of a grandparent also had a parent present in the household.
