Anxiety, depression plague up to 66% of Hong Kong subdivided flat tenants: NGO
A recent survey by the Kwun Tong Methodist Social Service (KTMSS) in Hong Kong has revealed significant mental health challenges among residents of subdivided flats. The NGO found that up to 66% of surveyed tenants exhibited signs of anxiety, and 40% showed signs of depression. These issues are compounded by financial strain, with families spending approximately 40% of their average monthly income of HK$15,350 on rent, particularly those with children requiring special educational needs.
