| Annotation | By 2021, Hong Kong will be face a rapidly ageing population, with an estimated 1.4 million (17%) aged 65+. In this paper, the authors examine the retirement economic status of three groups of older adults: those who are financially independent; those who are financially supported by their adult children or children-in-law; and those who are receiving welfare assistance. The current situations of these three groups are described, as well as the prevailing social policies, future trends and recommend policies for tackling problem areas. (KJ/RH). |
