N2 - Hong Kong is a small territory of some 415 square miles situated on the South China coast. It is a rapidly modernizing society, moving from an industrial export base to service and entrepot functions. By regional standards, many of Hong Kong's 1992 population of 5.9 million have a good standard of living and adequate housing. However, there are considerable discrepancies in wealth and well-being; elderly people are not always financially secure, and there arc growing difficulties in maintaining the oft-cited mode of family care for elderly members. Hong Kong is a rapidly aging society and it is essential to see this process in the context of local and regional socioeconomic change and the future political linkages of the territory with China.
