The CUHK Hong Kong Quality of Life Index, compiled by the Centre for Quality of Life of CUHK, shows that though the quality of life in Hong Kong has rebounded a little, it is still lower than that in 2010.

The index consists of 21 indicators grouped into three sub-indices, viz. social, economic and environmental. According to the latest CUHK Hong Kong Quality of Life Index released on 26 September, the overall score in 2012 was 102.97, up by 0.44 points from 2011 (102.53). The result indicates that the quality of life in Hong Kong improved slightly in 2012.

Compared with the scores of 2011, only the social sub-index slightly improved in 2012, while the economic sub-index and environmental sub-index dropped. The economic sub-index even sank to a record low since 2002 (the base year). The result shows that the economic and environmental situation worsened in 2012.
