Hong Kong's Coffin Homes
In 2007, there were approximately 53,200 people
living in “coffin homes” in Hong Kong. This type of residence originated in Hong Kong, and primarily exists in older urban districts such as Sham Shui Po, Mong Kok, To Kwa Wan, and Tai Kok Tsui. Generally, the residents are low-income people, including the elderly, drug users, and some low-skilled or unskilled labourers.
Reports from the Legislative Council of Hong Kong found that the people who lived in cage homes were those who did not qualify for social welfare, or subsidised rent or electricity. Most of the residents are male. Safety and
other living conditions in bed space apartments homes are often poor. While often called cage homes, they are categorized as "bedspace apartments" by the Hong Kong Government. According to the Bed space Apartment Ordinance, the term "bedspace apartment" refers to a house that contains 12 or more people who rent bed spaces individually. It is legal to run these bed space apartments, but landlords must first apply for a special license.
