    Dementia / Ionospheric scintillation phenomenon

    On Thursday's Backchat, we're talking about dementia.

    The Equal Opportunities Commission has released new guidelines encouraging employers to support workers with dementia and those caring for relatives with the handicap.
    This comes as the number of people suffering from Alzheimer's disease or similar conditions could reach 330,000 by 2039 as the city's population keeps ageing.
    Whilst most people diagnosed with dementia are retired, a significant chunk are still active in the workforce, prompting rights' groups to call for new measures.
    So how serious is dementia among the working elderly? Which sectors need to adapt the most? And are carers given adequate support?
    After 9:45, we speak to a scientist about why the recent drone show had to be cancelled.

    Hong Kong's increasing divorce rates / ESF's 4.8% school fee increase

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Paul Zimmerman

    On Wednesday’s Backchat, we're be talking about the increasing divorce rate in Hong Kong.

    Divorce applications rose 25% last year and splitting couples had to wait longer to have their cases heard in Family Court, with the average waiting time reaching nearly three months. Lawyers say they’re starting to see some couples divorce much earlier into their marriages, often due to extramarital affairs or conflicts over parenting.
    But rising divorce rates aren’t unique to Hong Kong and some jurisdictions, such as France, are starting to make the process less painful by allowing consenting couples to avoid a court hearing.
    So is time for Hong Kong to do the same? Why are more people divorcing? And how does it affect their children?
    After 9:45, we discuss ESF's plan for a 4.8% increase in school fees.
