The increase in migration overseas in recent years resulted in a new social phenomenon of “Left Behind” parents. The feeling of abandonment and loneliness can lead to depression and physical deterioration. Are there steps that the children can take before migrating to assist their parents to adapt better and improve their quality of life? And what support and services our society can provide to address the helplessness of this group of elderlies?
