This volume unpacks the phenomenon of skipped generation householdsâ€”where children live with their grandparents and without their parentsâ€”as they become an increasingly common family dynamic in Nigeria and globally. The skipped generation households emergence in sub-Saharan Africa has been driven by factors including the HIV/AIDS epidemic, labour-based migration, and ethno-religious conflicts. By examining the data from a national study on skipped generation households in Nigeria, contributions track benefits, opportunities, and effects associated with growing up in these households. Details including academic performance and career aspirations for grandchildren, as well as social-psychological and physical well-being of both them and their grandparents, are explored.
