Most animals don't have grandmas. But elephants do.

For those of us lucky enough to have grandmas (and grandpas!), we know they can be a blessing.
Grandparents can be sources of wisdom, comfort, or joy. Not to mention that many of us actually grew up with our grandparents — family doesn't just mean a mom and dad raising kids. We're a lot more diverse than that.
In fact, the percentage of kids living in households run by a grandparent has more than doubled from about 3% in the 1970s to about 7% now — that's more than 5 million grandkids, as of 2012, getting the care they need.
So I think it's fair to say we're really lucky to have grandparents.

Grandmother is the main resource thats used by new mothers by dumping their children to so that they can go to work. So in a way grandmothers add lot of value to economy in an indirect way.
