Abstract: The lack of childcare facility and support has resulted in fertility decline and low female labour force participation rate in Malaysia, as some women forgo childbearing to focus on career development, while others stop working to look after their children. Grandparents can play a crucial role in childcare, to allow women to combine their maternal role with work. This paper analyses grandparents’ roles in childcare by socio-demographic characteristics.
