ABSTRACT
The article presents the prevalence of a regular support in childcare from grandparents
in countries belonging the conservative model of family policy. The author explores
the interdependence between the extent of institutional support in childcare and the
prevalence of regular care provided by grandparents to grandchildren. It turns out that
the prevalence of grandparental support in childcare is significant but very diverse in the
analyzed group of countries. The lower is the generosity of parental leave and the weaker
is the access to institutional forms of care for children in preschool, the more common
is grandparental support.
