Under the global aging trend, the re-employment of the elderly has become a hot topic full of controversy. This paper uses the case study method to study the influence of re-employment on the mental health of the elderly and finds that re-employment benefits the mental health of the elderly. On the one hand, the re-employment of the elderly can subsidize family expenditures through re-employment. They do not want to be a burden to their children and want to do their best for the family. On the other hand, older adults also yearn for a better life. They hope to obtain higher incomes, meet higher consumption demands, and realize self-worth and spiritual satisfaction through re-employment. Therefore, society must be more open, face up to and respect the actual needs of the older adults’ requirements for re-employment and the objective facts of economic and social development, and provide more employment security for the willing and able elderly.
