Optimizing finance and health for the elderly

Professor Chou Kee-lee's research establishes a theoretical framework for financial and health planning for retirement by identifying effective pathways to sound financial and mental health. Building on this foundation, Professor Chou actively develops new interventions and optimizes existing programmes, leveraging this theoretical framework to promote financial and health well-being. His projects incorporate innovative evaluation designs to enable the discovery of effective intervention strategies. The data generated by Professor Chou's work facilitates the development of practical and feasible approaches to achieving a healthy aging society.

As the percentage of older adults in Hong Kong continues to grow, understanding the unique challenges they face, both financial and mental, is crucial for developing effective policies and support systems. Investigating their financial difficulties can lead to a better understanding of how economic factors impact their quality of life, informing policymakers about how best to develop financial assistance programmes, retirement planning resources, and economic policies for this demographic.

This research benefits various stakeholders: government officials and policymakers can develop informed policies and programmes that specifically target the needs of older adults; medical and mental health professionals can gain insights into the mental health needs of older adults to better tailor interventions and treatment plans; and non-profit organizations and community groups focused on aging populations can use it to design and implement programmes and services that improve their financial and mental well-being.
