Abstract The main goal of this research is to find a way to maintain the subjective well-being of caregivers of the disabled elderly. Ensuring proper leisure activity may become the key to solving this problem. Relying on data from the 2017 China Time Use Survey, this study finds that the care activities for the disabled elderly will reduce the caregivers’ subjective well-being through the squeeze of the caregivers’ leisure activities from the point of view of time use, and the caregivers with different individual characteristics have different impacts on the subjective well-being of feeling disabled elderly care activities. Therefore, from the perspective of time utilization, it is believed that social institutions take care of the disabled elderly, caregivers' housework activities, and improve the flexible working system, which have a positive effect on maintaining the caregivers' subjective well-being.
