Left-behind Elderly Parents: the Theology and Social Role of Christian Organisations in Supporting Older Adults in Hong Kong whose Adult Children Migrated through the British National (Overseas) Visa Scheme

The aim of this project is to determine how Christian social services and churches can facilitate the flourishing of older adults in midst of the loss they face in the migration of their adult children and grandchildren. This project aims to answer three key questions: (1) How do left-behind elderly parents understand their relationship with God? (2) How do Hong Kong Christian organisations support these left-behind elderly parents? (3) How do left-behind elderly parents understand their social identity, and the loss of such?
