1e) One of the problems faced by Hong Kong is that it has a rapidly increasing aging population. If the trend continues, every 2 working people would have to support 3 unemployed or retired people by 2036. That is because Hong Kong has a low birth rate. The median age for the entire population is 42.8 years old and the rate of natural increase is 0.54 per 1000 people. Thus, it leads to an aging population.
