Even if they have children, it is difficult to provide economic support in today's situation, so they are generally difficult to live.

Cai Sixing, a lecturer of the General Scholarship of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, pointed out in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that in recent years, Hong Kong's economic development has lack of industry that can make the common people's common prosperity.
