Hong Kong

Healthcare in Hong Kong

Healthcare in Hong Kong is provided for free by the public sector. Employees are not required to contribute to the cost of healthcare. The services provided are excellent, but waiting times can be extensive. Employers may choose to offer private medical insurance to alleviate this issue.

Pensions in Hong Kong

Employees in Hong Kong are eligible for the Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF), which is a retirement savings scheme. Both employees and employers must contribute 5% of an employee’s salary to the fund, up to a maximum of HK$1,000 per month. The retirement age in Hong Kong is 65 for men and women.

Disability in Hong Kong

Disability is covered by social security and is a means-tested benefit, paid monthly. To be eligible, an employee must have been employed for at least 26 weeks and be assessed as having a disability that prevents them from working. There are also specific grants provided which cater to certain recipients’ needs.

Unemployment in Hong Kong

People who are unable to find work in Hong Kong may qualify for CSSA (Comprehensive Social Security Assistance). Applicants must have been resident for a minimum of one year.

CSSA is means-tested and the applicant’s total monthly household income of the applicant and his/her family must be insufficient to meet their total monthly needs as recognized under the Scheme.
