According to the 2021 Population Census, there are about 320,000 elderly singletons and elderly couple households in Hong Kong. Among them, there is a notable number of “hidden elderly” who are socially withdrawn, lacking in family or peer support, and disconnected from normal social networks and activities. They also do not know how to seek assistance from social service providers. The Labour and Welfare Bureau's data in 2023 shows that there are currently 214 elderly community centres in Hong Kong, and around 9,000 hidden elderly and needy are receiving case follow-up services. What are the needs of these "hidden elderly" behind our vibrant and prosperous society? Can the current policies adequately address their needs?
