An emergent of family changes:
the new version of the relationship grandparents- grandsons
Keywords:
family, ageing, relationships, grandparents, grandsonsAbstract
This academic essay tries to review some of the changes that the family group is having by revising the concept of home, stepfamilies, parenthood, grandchildren, and the new roles that grandparents are taking in facing these transformations. The most relevant result indicates that these new roles of aging people are essential to understand some of the peculiarities of contemporary families. Also, that they correlate with demographic trends that Latin America and the world go through.Downloads
