Annotation	The findings of this telephone survey of 1,078 middle-aged respondents in Hong Kong show that, in general, little is done by way of retirement planning. The focus is on a very narrow set of activities, including financial and health planning. Of the 19 planning variables, only a few were significantly related to perceptions of sufficiency for retirement planning and retirement satisfaction. In this regard, the perception of this middle-aged sample was that they can depend on their family for support in retirement. The lack of private and public support for retirement planning left these respondents feeling unsure as to whether they have the capability to plan sufficiently for retirement. (RH).
