Hong Kong's $2 Billion Bet to Fix Retirement

Hong Kong spent 2025 making major moves to support its growing elderly population. The government is investing heavily to change how the city handles retirement. Officials expanded key voucher schemes for healthcare and community care. They also launched a HK$2 billion fund to develop technology for the elderly and rehabilitation. A new plan of 30 measures aims to boost the "silver economy." To better coordinate all efforts, a dedicated Working Group on Ageing Society Strategies was formed. These steps led to the launch of the Q-Mark Silver Scheme. This long-awaited program is a central part of Hong Kong's push to rewrite its retirement script.
