The depression of the Chinese older adults is affected by grandchild care, and this effect is more prominent in female older adults and the older adults who don't have a spouse. The society should support and encourage capable older adults to participate in grandchild care, and children should also provide more intergenerational support to the older adults who provide grandchild care, so as to further play the role of grandchild care in relieving depression of the older adults
