20Grandparental support is positively associated with women’s labor force participation
and fertility transitions. Specifcally, grandparental support shapes adult child’s entry
into parenthood by infuencing adult child’s expectations about future care. In this
framework, the current study investigates whether observed grandparental support
impacts adult sons’ and adult daughters’ fertility intentions in a lowest-low fertility
country such as Spain. We use data from the new wave of the Spanish Fertility Survey
(2018), and we fnd that receiving grandparental support has a positive and signifcant
impact on women’s but not on men’s fertility intentions. Furthermore, this impact
remains positive after controlling for women’s socio-economic characteristics. Finally,
education results the main mediator for the relationship between grandparental
support and women’s fertility intentions, with highly educated women displaying a signifcantly increase of their fertility intentions compared to their low-educated counterparts. Our fndings highlight gender diferences in the perceived role of grandparental
support for future fertility, and the importance of informal care for balancing family and work in the Spanish context.
