TITLE: Grandparental Investment: Past, Present and Future AUTHORS: David A. Coall & Ralph Hertwig ABSTRACT: What motivates grandparents to their altruism? We review answers from evolutionary theory, sociology, and economics. Sometimes in direct conflict with each other, these accounts of grandparental investment exist side-by-side, with little or no theoretical integration. They all account for some of the data, and none for all of that. We call for a more comprehensive theoretical framework of grandparental investment that addresses its proximate and ultimate causes, its variability due to lineage, values, norms, institutions (e.g., inheritance laws), and social welfare regimes, and that takes into account that the demographic shift to low fecundity and mortality in economically developed countries has profoundly altered basic parameters of grandparental investment. We then turn to the possible impact of grandparental acts of altruism, and examine whether benefits of grandparental care in industrialized societies may manifest in terms of less tangible dimensions such as the grandchildrens cognitive and verbal ability, mental health and well-being. Although grandparents in industrialized societies continue to invest substantial amounts of time and money in their grandchildren, we find a paucity of studies investigating the influence that this investment has on grandchildren in low-risk family contexts. Under circumstances of duressfor instance, teenage pregnancy, maternal depressionthere is converging evidence that grandparents can provide support that helps to safeguard their children and grandchildren against adverse risks. We conclude by discussing the role that grandparents could play in what has been referred to as Europes demographic suicide. KEYWORDS: child development; demographic transition; empathy; grandmother hypothesis; grandparental investment; grandparental solicitude; intergenerational transfers; kin altruism; maternal depression; reciprocal altruism.
