An estimated 1.1 million people live in households affected by unemployment or underemployment.
Hong Kong’s coronavirus-induced economic slump is hitting both working-class and middle-class families, with more than 100,000 households driven into poverty, a new analysis shows.
The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) said more than 359,900 – or 17.1 per cent – of economically active households were suffering from unemployment or underemployment in the third quarter of last year.
