which of the following is true of grandparents caring for grandchildren?
a) fewer grandparents are caring for grandchildren now than in 2000.
b) grandparents have access to \parental\ assistance that is similar to the assistance parents typically receive.
c) grandparents usually have the same access to help from their employers as parents.
d) most grandparents caring for grandchildren are in the labor force.

Explanation:

• Question 1: In modern times, with increasing gender equality and various support systems (like daycare, flexible work - arrangements), a majority of women with small children do not leave the workforce. So, the statement "The majority of women with small children leave the workforce to stay at home" is false.
• Question 2: The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) indeed allows eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job - protected leave for certain family and medical reasons such as the birth or adoption of a child, caring for a seriously ill family member, or the employee's own serious illness. So, the statement is true.
• Question 3:
• Option a: In fact, the number of grandparents caring for grandchildren has been increasing in many regions due to factors like parental substance abuse, incarceration, etc. So, this option is false.
• Option b: Grandparents often do not have access to the same "parental" assistance as parents. For example, in some welfare programs or educational support systems, the focus is more on nuclear families. So, this option is false.
• Option c: Employers' policies regarding caregiving leave and support are usually more centered around parents (biological or adoptive in the traditional sense) rather than grandparents. So, this option is false.
• Option d: Many grandparents who are caring for grandchildren are still in the labor force. They may be working to support the grandchildren financially or because they have not yet retired. This is a common trend observed in demographic studies.

Answer:

1. B. False
2. A. True
3. D. Most grandparents caring for grandchildren are in the labor force.
