January 5, 2017 - Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China - Elderly people play mahjong in a restaurant in Hong Kong...In 2016, the population of Hong Kong is 7, 000, 000, among which 1, 000, 000 are elderly people aged 65 and above, accounting for 15 percent. ..According to statistics, average life of Hong Kong people is 84. Longevity doesn't necessarily mean happiness, for one in three elderly people lives below poverty line, they can't afford to enjoy a cozy later life. In a bustling city such as Hong Kong, sliver-hair elderly can be seen working low paying jobs in restaurant, supermarket and mall just like young people, they have to cashier, sweep floor, wash dishes, scrub toilets for basic living. According to statistics, the oldest driving instructor in Hongkong is over 90 years old, more than 100 bus drivers are over the age of 70. Some elder people have no choice but to do works that young people doesn't care about like collecting rubbish, while only few could afford to open a store to make small but steady money. ..The belief in self-reliance and pull your self up by your bootstraps has deeply affected social welfare system in Hong Kong, so there exists no sophisticated retirement protection policy. Elderly people have to live upon their own savings or support from their children. When a person turns 70, he can get HKD$1135 per month for old age allowance, known as fruit money, because that amount is far from enough to cover general expense but to purchase some fruit. Finance is a major problem if to implement an universal pension scheme. Upon such appeal, young people have also voiced their anger, elder generations benefit a lot from opportunity and wealth by economical boom, it doesn't seem fair for them to take away money from hard-working young people every month...A local media comments as follows, ¡°as our society grows richer, the elderly who once contributed to it are forgotten.
