Abstract: Using data from China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey in 2014,this paper examines the elderly’s intention for old-age support,the intergenerational relationship and the effects of grandchild care.The results show that:First,there exists selectivity in the care for grandchildren.The elderly who feel closer to their children are more willing to provide care for grandchildren.Second,grandchild care also affects the relationship between the elderly and their children in turn.As the intensity of care increases,the conflicts between the elderly and their children are increasing.However,these short-term conflicts will not significantly affect the elderly’s intention for old-age support.Third,grandchild care will affect the elderly’s intention for old-age support.Compared with those who provide low-intensity care,the elderly who provide high-intensity care are more likely to live with their children in the future.This suggests that the grandchild care is more of intergenerational exchanges and family responsibilities than a completely altruistic behaviour.Finally,intergenerational relationship has no significant mediating or moderating effect on the influence of grandchild care.
