| Summary: |
Nowadays, the three elements on which traditional family structure has been designed like gender, age and consanguinity are broken -or at least weakened-. In accordance with the former, female emancipation which took place from the second half of the 20th century on, led to the inclusion of women in productive-working spaces, generating the conditions for the mothers to request help from the grandparents in the care of minor children. In addition to this, the recent increase in divorces and separations of couples who constituted nuclear families results in –before the breakdown of these unions- an important place of grandparents in the care and support of the youngest members of the family. With reference to the second element, there has been a democratization of intra-familiar relationships allowing for those who have been historically seen as subordinate subjects to enjoy their right to autonomy and personal freedom, in conditions of equality and dignity, including grandparents or great-grandparents, elderly people. With regards to the third element, socio-affectivity has been recognized as a determining requirement for interpersonal relations, on par with the biological budget, giving rise to approaches and questions regarding the place of kindred grandparents within the framework of assembled families. In essence, the abovementioned events have operated as factors for a re-reading of the legal roles of grandparents within families. |
