What is it about?
Many grandparents in Indonesia raise their grandchildren when parents can't or won't. We studied 13 of them and found they generally enjoy it, but it can be tough. Culture plays a big role, and they need support for their well-being. This study can inform policies and support systems, making it relevant and engaging for a broader readership.
