As societies — including Hong Kong's — age, what does the future look like for young
people? What are their needs? What are their realities? These and many other important
questions are dealt with under the umbrella of intergenerational justice in this issue of
Youth Hong Kong.
Intergenerational justice focuses on the need for give-and-take at all ages highlighting
the burdens placed on today’s young people as demographic ratios change. We look at
intergenerational aspects of longevity, the shrinking workforce and low fertility and
compare Hong Kong with other societies. The need for balance between investment in
youth and the growing costs of healthcare provision and retirement protection form a
common thread in our analysis.
These matters concern everyone and we are eager to hear your views. Please write to us
