As a Grandparent in the UK of four, ages 12, 9, 8,& 4, I can say that a fairly high percent of grandparents that have close contact with their own children do take steps to 'day sit' their grandchildren while their own children go to work. My Children, two girls, live very close to me, both live on the same street. We do look after children very often, (both my girls work in our business) so we all pull together as and when needed. Not many grandparents bring up their grandchildren. If I had to guess a percent, I'd say less than 1 percent. I know a very high percent do in China.
