This article fills a gap in the literature by examining the situation of grandparents who join their migrant adult children to facilitate their workforce participation by providing childcare. The article shows how grandparents and their adult children reinterpret and negotiate intergenerational family obligation in constructing their own lives. Based on extensive interview data the article provides a theoretically-informed and empirically-based understanding of intergenerational relations in China’s internal labor migration. - Reproduced.  aSocial exchange95792  aInternational Sociology  aInternal migration - China  2ddccAR  00102ddc40709383611aIIPAbIIPAd2019-05-17h33(6), Nov, 2018: p.761-777.pAR119794r2019-05-17yAR
