One of the major consequences of the migrant work economy is the decline in the social status of rural elderly people, compared with the position they occupied in the collective period. Work practices have reshaped family practices. The increase in migrant work has created status change for both elderly parents and their adult children, and thus their experiences of family life are also changing. Different living conditions demonstrate changes in the relative status of the generations and their experiences of family life. It has become a common opinion that old people do not need as comfortable a life as the young. Where it was once commonplace to reserve the ‘good’, nutritious food for one’s parents, now villagers take it for granted that the elderly do not need as much as younger people. Living a dependent life, many elderly people feel that they must suppress their needs—or express them indirectly.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
