title: Aging trends--Hong Kong.
abstract: Aspects of demographic aging in Hong Kong are examined in this study.  "By regional standards, many of Hong Kong's 1992 population of 5.9  million have a good standard of living and adequate housing. However, there are considerable discrepancies in wealth and well-being; elderly people are not always financially secure, and there are growing difficulties in maintaining the oft-cited mode of family care for elderly members. Hong Kong is a rapidly aging society and it is essential to see this process in the context of local and regional socioeconomic change and the future political linkages of the territory with China."
