Chinese people are one of the largest and fastest growing migrant groups in Aotearoa New Zealand. Many Chinese people endorse traditional Confucian values that place a strong emphasis on filial piety, a moral obligation to care for older parents. Consequently, family reunification is particularly common in the Chinese community, where older parents migrate later in life, often without English language skills and with limited knowledge of the culture of the host country, to reunite with their children and grandchildren. Family reunification creates complex financial and multigenerational living situations, resulting in previously unseen power imbalances within families. These arrangements can leave older Chinese migrants vulnerable to abuse and neglect. Although the actual prevalence of AOP is currently unknown, there has been increasing concern from service providers and health professionals about the number of identified (and the potentially undetected) AOP cases in the Chinese community.
