CONCLUSIONS""; ""References""Hong Kong SAR's population is aging rapidly. This paper concludes that, without a change in policies, aging could adversely affect growth and living standards. While higher labor productivity growth and increased migration of younger skilled workers from the Chinese mainland, would attenuate the economic impact of aging, they would not offset it fully. Aging will also put pressure on public finances, particularly as a result of rising health care costs. There is a relatively narrow window of opportunity to implement policies to lessen the impact of aging, given that the demographic effects could start setting in as early as 2015 when the working population's support ratio peaks. In recent years, the Hong Kong SAR authorities have been focusing on policies that could help limit the fiscal impact of aging, including continued expenditure restraint on non-age-sensitive areas, reform of health care financing (including introducing private health insurance system), and tax reforms.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/087Population agingEconomic aspectsChinaHong KongAge distribution (Demography)ChinaHong KongAgingimfDemographic changeimfDemographic Economics: GeneralimfDemographic transitionimfDemographic Trends, Macroeconomic Effects, and ForecastsimfDemographyimfEconomics of the ElderlyimfEconomics of the HandicappedimfExpenditures, PublicimfHealth care spendingimfHuman CapitalimfLabor ProductivityimfLabor productivityimfMacroeconomicsimfNational Government Expenditures and HealthimfNon-labor Market DiscriminationimfOccupational ChoiceimfPopulation & demographyimfPopulation agingimfPopulation and demographicsimfPopulationimfProduction and Operations ManagementimfPublic finance & taxationimfPublic FinanceimfSkillsimfHong Kong Special Administrative Region, People's Republic of ChinaimfPopulation agingEconomic aspectsAge distribution (Demography)AgingDemographic changeDemographic Economics: GeneralDemographic transitionDemographic Trends, Macroeconomic Effects, and ForecastsDemographyEconomics of the ElderlyEconomics of the HandicappedExpenditures, PublicHealth care spendingHuman CapitalLabor ProductivityLabor productivityMacroeconomicsNational Government Expenditures and HealthNon-labor Market DiscriminationOccupational ChoicePopulation & demographyPopulation agingPopulation and demographicsPopulationProduction and Operations ManagementPublic finance & taxationPublic FinanceSkillsLeigh Lamin1815908DcWaIMFBOOK9910968068203321Hong Kong Special Administrative Region4371527UNINA
