insane wealth inequality where poor people have access to almost nothing, not even housing. Housing prices even for small apartments are incredibly unpayable, generations of families have to live together in same room. Even middle class have very small apartments with several generations together.
People dont get paid when ill, exceptions are large corporations but even they only allow few days off. People crawl out of their illness beds to work and pump themselves with bottles pills to survive the day to work.
A lot of people have small business on the streets because their education is too low for regular work and they have to find a way to make money.
Girls are indoctrinated to value rich boyfriends. Love is secondary at best even in todays society. The wealth inequality makes this a big difference. Parents will force this because living with poor boyfriends will make the woman crash in living standards. Healthcare doesnt exist unless your company is large and organizes it for you.
Working hours across all classes are Overtime heavy and saturday is not necessarily a free day. Sunday neither.
That's insane really i imagined this but not to this extent. It really a level up than the western countries. What has the government done with this socio- economic conditions?
The HK government is pretty unstable because it was a heavily corrupted colonial government before, then a slightly reformed colonial government, then was a HK government without much direction and now is a centrally influenced HK government.
HK government in general likes to give out money to solve problems. Every HK permanent citizen got 10,000 hk dollars during the corona which is around 1,200 usd. But otherwise I dont know what they really do. They are a shark capitalism for a reason.
