This thesis documents grandparent childcare arrangements in contemporary East Asian families and explores the family processes and dynamics involved in care work. This study explores Hong Kong families’ first-hand experiences of the interplay of policy support and household care provision for pre-school children. It focuses on grandparent childcare in working parents’ childcare arrangements. It contributes to the evolving discussion on the ethics of care by looking at both the actual practices and values of childcare arrangements in intergenerational familial relationships.
