This article is based on the 2018 China Health and Elderly Care Tracking Survey (CHARLS) data and uses the Logit model and propensity score matching method (PSM) to estimate the impact of "reverse feeding" behavior on elderly labor participation. Research has shown that providing financial support to children by elderly parents can encourage them to enter the labor market; The behavior of intergenerational care will inhibit their entry into the labor market; Providing economic support for children is more significant for elderly individuals living alone and men, while the negative impact of intergenerational care is more significant among women and elderly people living with their children. Therefore, it is necessary to further optimize the supply and service of early childhood care resources, protect the rights and interests of women to participate in labor, and improve the elderly care security system to build a scientific and reasonable elderly employment security system.
