title = "Promoting the Social Connectedness of the Lost-Only-Child Elderly in China",
abstract = "After the implementation of the one-child policy in the 1980s, most Chinese families consist of parents and one child. This phenomenon is along with an increasing special group of elder parents who lost their only child. They are not the elderly in a general sense but have special demands in terms of social support and participation in society. This study aims to promote the social connectedness of lost-only-child elderly and help them get access to a better life in the ageing process. By analyzing current research of this group from the ergonomics field, this study attempts to argue the value of social connectedness for the lost-one-child elderly and propose accessible strategies for the designers in the practice of community service.",
