Forty percent of the population of Hong Kong will be over the age of 65 within the next 30 years. The city - like many high income economies - is in the midst of a demographic transition. People are living longer and birthrates are at or below those needed to maintain the population. Demographic change affects all aspects of society from economics to health. Maintaining a productive, growing economy will require careful long range planning and effective implementation. During the presentation, Dr. William Haseltine, Chairman and President of ACCESS Health International, will outline a coordinated, integrated strategy to build a City of the Future.
