"The Profile of Persons Residing in Private Elderly Homes in 2023"
A survey was conducted by C&SD during July to August 2023 to collect the age-sex profile of persons residing in private elderly homes (PEH). Results of the survey together with some other administrative records are used in the General Household Survey to estimate the age-sex profile of the land-based non-institutional population of Hong Kong. This feature article gives a brief account of the results of the 2023 round of the Annual Survey on Profile of Inmates of PEH.
