The loneliness pandemic is rife - amongst all generations. Particularly the elderly feel it hard. In China, a “loneliness economy" is emerging. 

Wang Yingwei employs a team of 4 scooter drivers who are paid hourly to be “temporary children”. They go to the elderly’s houses to help with basic chores, deliver groceries and just hang out with them. 

Many of their clients report feeling much better with this service.
