Abstract: This paper studies the optimal consumption and portfolio of investors with labor income under the framework of the stochastic volatility model. After the model is established,the HJB (Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman) equation is obtained by applying the stochastic optimal control theory;secondly,the power utility function is considered and the explicit solution of optimal consumption-portfolio is obtained by separating variables,that is,the functional expressions of optimal consumption c*(t)and investment strategy π*(t). Finally,the effect of different market parameters on the optimal consumption-portfolio strategy is analyzed through numerical simulation. The result shows that when the instantaneous volatility increases,the optimal investment proportion decreases,but the consumption level increases;when the risk aversion factor increases,investors bear less investment risk,which will increase the investment proportion of risk assets and reduce consumption expenditure;when the investor has a labor income,it affects the investor's consumption-portfolio decision.

Key words: stochastic volatility, labor income, optimal consumption-portfolio, power utility function, HJB(Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman)equation
