Objective: This study investigates whether grandparents’ support to their children’s families varies by the child’s union status—single, cohabiting, or married. Background: More young families today are headed by unmarried parents due to increases in nonmarital childbearing, cohabitation, and divorce, and these families have fewer resources than married-couple families. Grandparents can provide an important safety net to families in need. Although grandparents today possess a greater capacity to assist their children’s families due to increased longevity, good health and financial well-being, little is known about whether their support varies based on their adult children’s union status. Method: Data are drawn from the 2015–2017 Add Health Parent Study (AHPS) (https:// www.cpc.unc.edu/projects/addhealth/design/ parents-phase-2), a follow-up study of 2013 parents who participated in the 1995 Add Health Study with their adolescents. Respondents’ reports of instrumental and financial support to children, ages 18–40, and their children are analyzed. Mixed effects logistic regressions

祖父母对年轻家庭的支持：成人儿童联盟状态的变化 †

目的：本研究调查祖父母对孩子家庭的支持是否因孩子的结合状态（单身、同居或已婚）而异。背景：由于非婚生子、同居和离婚的增加，如今越来越多的年轻家庭由未婚父母主导，这些家庭的资源少于已婚夫妇家庭。祖父母可以为有需要的家庭提供一个重要的安全网。尽管由于寿命延长、健康状况良好和财务状况良好，如今的祖父母拥有更大的能力来帮助孩子的家庭，但人们对他们的支持是否因成年子女的工会身份而有所不同知之甚少。方法：数据来自 2015-2017 Add Health Parent Study (AHPS) (https://www.cpc.unc.edu/projects/addhealth/design/parents-phase-2)，对参与 1995 年 Add Health 研究的 2013 年父母及其青少年的后续研究。分析了受访者对 18-40 岁儿童及其子女提供的工具和财政支持的报告。混合效应逻辑回归
