Hong Kong Population Projections 2017-2066 Common in HK

Census and Statistics Department

**studies may require analysis on the projected population with foreign domestic helpers excluded.

-Significant increase in the number of deaths due to an ageing population

- decrease in the number of births

-With post-war baby boomers entering old age, the number of elderly persons aged 65 and over is projected to more than double in the coming 20 years.

-the number of elderly persons will increase from 1.16 million (16.6% of the total population) in 2016 by over a million to 2.37 million (31.1%) in 2036. Compared with the growth of about half a million in the last 20 years (from 1996 to 2016), the elderly population will increase distinctly at a much faster pace in the future.

-It is also worth noting that the elderly population will remain at over 2.3 million for at least 30 years.

-In 2066, the number of elderly persons is projected to reach 2.59 million (36.6%).

-It is also worth noting that the elderly population will remain at over 2.3 million for at least 30 years.

median age of the population

-due to the persistently low fertility rate, the proportion of the population aged under 15 is projected to decrease gradually from 11.8% in 2016 to 9.2% in 2066。

-The ageing trend is also revealed by the increasing median age of the population, which will rise from 44.3 in 2016 to 50.9 in 2036, and further to 54.5 in 2066 (excluding foreign domestic helpers).

2016 Population By-census – Thematic Report: Older Persons 2016 Population By-census

As compared with 10 years ago, the proportion of older persons living with children (including those living with spouse and children and those living with children only) dropped from 53.4% in 2006 to 48.5% in 2016. On the contrary, the proportions of older persons living with spouse only and those living alone rose by 4.0 and 1.5 percentage points respectively over the same period.

The number of domestic households with older persons only (such as older persons living alone and households composed of couples of older persons only) surged as population ageing continued. In 2016, there were 300 906 domestic households with all members (other than foreign domestic helpers) being older persons, which was 67.4% higher than the figure of 179 702 in 2006. Among these households, 39 609 households had foreign domestic helpers, which was about triple the figure in 2006 (12 807), reflecting the growing trend of hiring foreign domestic helpers to take care of older persons.

Even though the ability to write is closely related to the ability to read, it is observed that the proportion of older persons being able to write Chinese (76.0%) was significantly lower than the proportion being able to read Chinese (82.3%).

Even though the ability to write is closely related to the ability to read, it is observed that the proportion of older persons being able to write Chinese (76.0%) was significantly lower than the proportion being able to read Chinese (82.3%).

Educational attainment is linked to many aspects of a person’s development. Research has shown that higher levels of education usually translate into better health status, higher incomes and consequently higher standards of living. People with higher educational level may be less dependent on their families for financial assistance. In Hong Kong, as the education system was not well-developed during the 1930’s to 1950’s, the current cohort of older persons on average had a relatively low level of educational attainment. In addition, many of the current cohort of older persons came from the mainland of China (the Mainland) during their youth. The opportunity of attending school was slim especially for the females from villages.

The number of domestic households with older persons only surged as population ageing continued. In 2016, there were 300 906 domestic households with all members (other than foreign domestic helpers) being older persons, which was 67.4% higher than that of 179 702 in 2006. Among these households, 39 609 households had foreign domestic helpers, which was about triple the figure in 2006 (12 807), reflecting the growing trend of hiring foreign domestic helpers to take care of older persons. It is worth noting that among the 39 609 domestic households consisting of older persons and foreign domestic helpers only, there were 23 759 domestic households in which only one older person was living with foreign domestic helper(s). (Table 7.5)

A larger proportion of working older persons were living with spouse. In 2016, 74.3% of working older persons were living with spouse as compared with 57.1% for non-working older persons.

China's tea consumption still accounts for a large proportion of domestic consumption. In 17 years, the consumption amounted to 1.9 million tons, while the export volume was only 355,000 tons. Therefore, tea consumption is needed . Doing a good job in the domestic market and focusing on the global market may be a direction.

Under the background of this large industry data, the China Industrial Research Institute believes that the development of the tea industry can increase the income of tea farmers and revitalize the regional economy.

It can also protect the ecology and develop tourism, and it can also enhance the local cultural style and connotation. The development of tea industry, the integration of tea tourism and the construction of tea towns, the popularization of tea culture, the spirit of tea people promote social harmony and help tea farmers increase their incomes.

Study History of the Product Innovation

Method of breaking tea Cake In fact, no matter what kind of tea cake, they are layered together. Therefore, it is important to find the interface between the layers, that is the most vulnerable part of tea cakes.

1. Tea cakes are pressed elasticly.It can be tight or loose. If they are simmered by hand, the tea leaves will be incomplete, finely broken, and there will be more tea residue.

2. Making good use of tools is a clever choice, but using scissors, screwdrive rs, hoes, etc. to remove tea cakes is really killing the tea. Please treat Pu'er tea as your partner.

3.Teaspoon and tea needle are the equipment that use on the tea mat, but if we use it for the opening the tea cake, it is too fragile, and it can't be used to dismantled the tea cake.

Study History of the Product Innovation

After finding the entry point, insert the tea knife into the tea cake. Note that the first action is to go straight into the tea cake. The more tea knives are plunged, the more successful they are.

Plug in and sweep first, then you can smash it. Please note that this action is awkward. Use the principle of leverage to slowly open the tea cake.

Then, slowly move the tea ceremony laterally, and change the “creep” of the tea cake from “point” to “face”.
