Abstract: Logistic regression analysis is conducted based on China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey data, to study the impact of children's economic support, life care and emotional support on the well-being of rural elderly people in the family inter-generational relationship. It is found that children's financial support is the primary factor to improve the well-being of the rural elderly, but some of this function is replaced by children's life care and emotional support. The life care of children is the mode of reciprocity that has the greatest influence on the well-being of the rural elderly in the inter-generational family relationship. Children's emotional support is conducive to improving the well-being of rural elderly people. Three suggestions are raised for policy-making. The first one is to establish a long-term care insurance system, the second one is to improve the family pension support policy, and the last one is to implement the filial piety leave system.

Key words: family inter-generational reciprocity, rural elderly, well-being improvement
