Our Hong Kong Foundation (OHKF) launched its research report titled "Policy Path to Ageing in Place for Hong Kong: Shaping an Inclusive Housing and Community Landscape" on 10 Apr. In recent years, senior living has become a significant topic in Hong Kong due to the city's rapidly ageing population. Projections suggest that by 2046, over 65s will make up 36% of the population, with a significant majority (over 80%) preferring to age in place. However, Hong Kong's elderly care resources still lean towards institutional care, and support for ageing in place needs to be improved.

Dr Jane Lee, President of OHKF, stated that Hong Kong is confronting the dual challenges of a rapidly ageing population and deteriorating building stock, creating significant safety hazards in the living environments of many seniors. She highlighted that, OHKF has proposed six major recommendations, emphasising the importance of cross-departmental collaboration to further extend the concept of ageing in place from individuals to the community, enabling seniors to enjoy their twilight years.
