Description
Saideh Garousi, Behshid Garrusi, and Faezeh Mohammadi studied older parents in rural Iran whose adult children moved to cities, in two thousand twenty-five. Such moves are common, and villages are aging faster as the young leave. The team interviewed older villagers in one province over eight months.
Parents reported worse chronic pain, poor sleep, loneliness, and lower self-worth after their children left. The old pattern of many generations supporting each other had broken down in their accounts. Yet parents also adapted, using phones to stay in touch and leaning on mosque and village networks. The authors call for support programs that build on those local strengths.
