Hong Kong’s wealth gap increased in the decade to 2011 as its population aged and employers demanded more high-skilled workers.
The city’s Gini coefficient, an index of the income gap, rose to 0.537 in 2011, from 0.525 in 2001, the government said on Monday in a report. The gap is wider than in Canada, the UK, the US, Australia and Singapore, the report said.
