Comment on In Hong Kong, Grandma Has to Find a Jobparent

Comments

I'm living in Hong Kong now and I see old people collecting cardboard and looking through bins more than once a day. It's not a good situation! There are more news stories of older people commiting suicide compared to the UK.

Five-ish years ago I was living in Singapore too but I don't recall ever seeing it there, especially nothing compared to Hong Kong.

Yeah, it's nothing compared to Hong Kong from what I've heard. Singapore actually have _some_ level of help, but I'm not an expert on that so don't quote me.

However, I meant the actual labouring. I saw a lot of elderly people working McDonalds and cleaning tables. By elderly, I mean 70+.
