In the next three decades Hong Kong will face a rapidly aging population. It was estimated the number of older adults aged 60 or above In Hong Kong will be increased from 1 million in 2001 to approximately 1.6 million by 2015. In 2001 there were 1.2 million soon-to-be-old adults aged between 45 and 59. In a survey of 1867 soon-to-be old adults in 2000 we found that 21.5% of them planned to rely on welfare as their first or second methods to maintain their living after retirement. Based on this result we estimated that in the coming 15 years the percentage of welfare recipients in the aged population might increase 60% whereas the absolute number of elderly welfare recipients would be 2.5 times of the current ones. Further analysts indicated that compared with other soon-to-be old adults those who selected welfare as their first and second choice to secure retirement income were more likely to be unemployed to receive welfare to be lacked of family financial support (especially from adult children) to have lower income and financial asset and not to have any retirement protection provided by their current employers.

This study focuses on the effect of age and gender on the distribution of affect over the life span. For the measurement of affect the Life-line Interview Method was selected, a special method for eliciting autobiographical information about important life-events for both past and anticipated future. Results are reported for 98 men and women about equally divided over three age groups (young, middle, and older adulthood). Overall, participants reported as many positive as negative events. The older participants are, the more positive they feel about their past and the more negative they feel about their future. A "positive affect bump" was found for the middle and older age groups who reported relatively more positive events in the period of about 10 to 40 years of age than in other periods of life.
