Abstract: Most older people receive significant assistance from their adult children. Some rely solely on their retirement savings, while others continue to work to support themselves in old age. This study examines the role that adult children play in shaping their parents’ decisions to participate in the labour market. When compared to older people who never received any help from their adult children, the results showed that older people who received assistance more often were less likely to work. This suggests that older individuals’ reduced incentive to work in the labour market is a result of their greater reliance on family support.
