“…It is crucial to recognize that immigrant groups often face hostile social settings, which can contribute to their feelings of loneliness and reduced resilience (Lee et al, 2020).

Feelings of loneliness can impact the relationships between the generations and family members. Loneliness among immigrant family members and its generational transmission are attracting more and more attention from academics. Nonetheless, existing research is frequently lacking theoretical foundations. I provide the life-course approach as a framework for enhancing future studies and theories of intergenerational loneliness in members of immigrant families. Particularly, the life-course perspective emphasizes the significance of considering the influence of both an individual's life course, societal factors, linked lives across generations, and the historical context. I review key dimensions of the life-course perspective and make recommendations for future directions in immigrant research on loneliness, generational loneliness disparities, and the transmission of loneliness across generations.

How these women are integrated into formal and informal systems in their communities has weighty consequences for women individually in terms of standard of living as well as social support and resiliency (Timberlake et al, 2003).…”
