These ties are consistently linked to the health and well-being of older adults worldwide. However, recent demographic shifts-such as population aging, below-replacement fertility, and increased migration-alongside social, economic, and technological changes, have reshaped family structures and dynamics for current and future cohorts of older persons. Consequently, researchers are increasingly focusing on phenomena such as solo-living older adults, childless aging, &#8220;kinlessness&#8221;, sole family survivorship, elder orphans, and late-life friendships. As global trends toward smaller families and longer lifespans persist, there is an urgent need for additional empirical studies and theoretical development in this field.<\/p>\n<p>This international workshop brings together empirical research examining the complex dimensions of aging with limited family ties and their implications for care support, health, and well-being of older adults. Contributions cover a wide range of geographic regions, including East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Oceania, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Sub-Saharan Africa, ensuring a truly global perspective. The presentations feature research with diverse methodological approaches, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies, with both single-country and cross-national comparisons. The proceedings from this international workshop will contribute to a special issue of Social Science &amp; Medicine on the same theme.<\/p>\nThe topics addressed include:<br \/>\n\u2022 Trends in limited kin availability (e.g., childlessness, kinlessness, sole family survivorship, one-child families, lifelong singlehood, solo living) and implications for health and well-being<br \/>\n\u2022 Long-term care, dementia care, and end-of-life care for older adults with restricted family ties<br \/>\n\u2022 Alternative support systems and innovations in care for older adults with minimal kin connections.<br \/>\n\u2022 The roles of social integration and social networks in supporting older adults with limited family ties and their implications for later-life health.\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Workshop Convenors\/Guest Editors<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Bussarawan Teerawichitchainan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Associate Professor, Department of Sociology and Anthropology &amp; Centre for Family and Population Research, National University of Singapore<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christine A.
