    Hong Kong's accessibility for the disabled / Mental health ahead of HKDSE results

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about accessibility for people with disabilities. 

    Speaking at the All@Hong Kong Symposium to Foster an Inclusive Smart City, Equal Opportunities Commission Chairperson Linda Lam urged different stakeholders to play their part in making infrastructure more inclusive, citing an increase in demand for barrier-free facilities amid an ageing population.

    The conference comes as the EOC increases its efforts to promote universal design and remove remaining hurdles. 

    City planners have largely welcomed the body's suggestions, while pointing out that some of the territory's geological features cause constraints. 

    How does Hong Kong compare to the rest of the world?

    After 9:45, we get key tips from a psychologist ahead of DSE results release day on Wednesday.

    Wealth gap figures / Funding of dog shelters

    Presenters:Danny Gittings and Mike Rowse

    On Monday’s Backchat, we’re talking about Hong Kong’s wealth gap.

    A new survey by Swiss investment bank UBS found that wealth inequality in Hong Kong's had dropped by 6% over the last 15 years, in contrast to Singapore which saw a 23% increase.
    Analysts say this may reflect the fall in local property prices as well as the emigration of wealthy Hong Kongers, in some cases to Singapore.
    But while the wealth gap, which only measures inequality in assets, has fallen an earlier report from Oxfam found that the income gap continues to grow, with Hong Kong’s poorest now earning almost 60 times less than Hong Kong’s richest.
    So how does Hong Kong compare to other parts of the world? We'll find out.
    After 9:45, we talk about the fate of the city's dog shelters, with some running out of cash.
