Lingnan University study finds older adults show greater resilience during COVID-19 pandemic

Evidence suggests that people's subjective well-being has deteriorated especially in societies where the negative impact of the pandemic is relatively large.

Key Points: 
  • Evidence suggests that people's subjective well-being has deteriorated especially in societies where the negative impact of the pandemic is relatively large.
  • However, a recent study conducted by Lingnan University (LU) in Hong Kongreveals that Japanese older adults' life satisfaction, as compared with their younger counterparts, had substantially improved during the pandemic, indicating their resilience on average.
  • "Considering that older adults' resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic has been reported worldwide even in the super-aged society Japan, it is logical to assume a similar structure exists in Hong Kong.
  • Meanwhile, there is also a possibility that Hong Kong suffers a relatively larger extent of 'resilience divide' among older adults given the existing socio-economic inequality," he said.
