在关于养恤金改革的辩论中，老年人的经济作用被低估了。这是因为，随着健康寿命的延长，老年人不仅在劳动力市场上更加活跃，而且在家庭生产中也更加活跃。使用一个三阶段的隔代模型，祖父母之间的劳动和非正式育儿（“祖父母”）分配时间，我们分析祖父母，生育率，老年劳动力和公共养老金之间的相互作用。我们得到两个分析结果。首先，提高养老金缴费率会增加祖父母抚养。其次，在公共养老金规模较小（较大）的国家，老年劳动力参与率与生育率呈负（正）相关。老年劳动力与生育率之间的非线性关系得到了实证支持。
The economic role of elderly people is underestimated in the context of the debate on pension reforms. This is because, as healthy life expectancy increases, the elderly become more active not only in the labor market but also in household production. Using a three-period overlapping-generations model in which grandparents allocate time between labor and informal childcare ("grandparenting"), we analyze the interaction among grandparenting, fertility, elderly labor, and public pensions. We obtain two analytical results. First, increasing the pension contribution rate increases grandparenting. Second, elderly labor force participation rates are negatively (positively) related to the fertility rates among countries with small (large) public pensions. The nonlinear relationship between elderly labor and fertility is empirically supported.
