Hong Kong’s wealth gap, the biggest in Asia, widened in the decade to 2011 as the city’s population aged and employers demanded more high-skilled workers.
The city’s Gini coefficient, an income inequality measure, gained to 0.537 in 2011, from 0.525 in 2001, the Census and Statistics Department said yesterday in a report. The gap is wider than in Canada, the U.K., the U.S., Australia and Singapore, the department said.
