由于香港人口以华人为主，又有敬老的文化传统，香港长期以来都是依靠家庭来供养长者。不过，经济成就并不能使香港免受其他工业社会所面对的问题，例如传统价值观的松动。这篇专题文章探讨香港国家和家庭在照顾长者方面的责任转变，特别是香港政府自七十年代中期开始推行的“社区照顾”政策的成效。审查的结论是，现在必须由国家和家庭分担责任。
With a predominantly Chinese population and a cultural tradition of respecting the old, Hong Kong has long relied on the family to support its elderly members. Economic success has, however, not spared Hong Kong from encountering the same problems as other industrial societies, such as the loosening of its traditional values. This article examines the changing responsibilities of the state and the family in Hong Kong in supporting the old, and in particular, the effectiveness of the "care in community" policy, which the Hong Kong Government has adopted since the mid-1970s. The examination concludes that the responsibility must now be shared between the state and the family.
