Abstract: Abstract This study examines the impact of grandparenting on parents’ labor force participation decisions, including both their participation status and working hours. Using data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) for 2018, 2020, and 2022, I employed a series of methods including Logit regression, Fixed effects, and an instrumental variables approach to address potential endogeneity. My findings reveal that grandparenting has a significant positive effect on both parents’ labor force participation and working hours. However, a clear gender difference exists in the nature and extent of this effect.
