There is a growing ageing population in Hong Kong. In year 2000, 17.1% of our population was 60 years old or over. However, it is estimated that 31% of the population will be over 60 years of age in year 2036. The objectives of this seminar are to compare the housing provision for the elderly in Hong Kong with other developed countries, and to examine the factors affecting the housing affordability and preferences of the elderly. The Reverse Mortgage Programme offered by the Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation (HKMC) and the two Housing Programmes for the elderly offered by the Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) in Tin Shui Wai and North Point will be discussed
