Population aging brings about
Societal Challenges
One of the most important trends in the 21st century is population aging, and its significance and related impacts span all levels of society. Hong Kong is facing the issue of an aging population. According to government statistics, in 2014, 15% of the population was aged 65 or above, and this is projected to increase to 36% by 2064.
In response to population aging, society needs to provide better and higher-quality healthcare services and products for the elderly.
