"For protection of my own safety, I would believe in anything" Ah Lun has many nicknames - "drunkard", "foolish Lun", "Grosvenor momordica fruit", because he loved drinking very much and there was always with him a bottle of brown wine with Grosvenor momordica fruit. Drinking too much led him to a dreamy state. He always giggled when he talked. Why drinking all the time? It was because "if I don't drink, I would remember the old days and cannot fall asleep." 「為保自己平安，我乜都信」 阿倫有很多外號，「醉貓」、「傻倫」、「羅漢果」，皆因他酷愛飲酒，身旁總有一支咖啡色的羅漢果酒。酒飲多了就如在夢中，說話臉帶傻笑。為何酒不離手？因為「唔飲酒就會想當年，就會睡唔著」。
Naked Friendship Choosing to have the starry sky as their roof, and cold concrete ground as their bed, most street sleepers are naturally solitary and do not like to socialize with others. However, 65- year-old Ah Choi was all smiles as he talked to you, "I have a good friend called Hoi Gor." Hoi Gor is Ah Choi 's "neighbour", both of them sleeping in Sham Shui Po. The brothers are inseparable - often sharing food out of the same meal box, and taking turns to smoke the same cigarette. 赤裸友情 選擇以星空為瓦，冷冰冰石屎地為床，露宿者大多性格孤僻，不大愛與人交往，但６５歲的阿財卻笑盈盈跟你談起，「我有個好朋友叫海哥。」海哥是阿財的「鄰居」，兩人同於深水露宿。 這對露宿兄弟，形影不離，常常一個飯盒兩人分，一支煙仔輪流食。
"Renting a cubicle? What happened to my cats and dogs?" There were few female street sleepers. Ah Mui was one of the few. Ah Mui was separated with her husband. Though she still had a daughter, elder brother, younger sister and mother, this 59-year-old lady did not get along well with them and slept under the flyover by herself. But it was not that she could not afford to pay several thousand dollars to rent a mosquito-size cubicle. In the housing shortage throughout Hong Kong, no landlord would rent a cubicle to a single woman with a dog and three cats. As she loves cats and dogs, she simply slept in the street. A place of 100 to 200 square feet, she lived with four pets leisurely and carefree. 「租房住？我的貓狗怎麼辦？」 女露宿者很少，阿妹是少數之一。何妹跟丈夫分開了，雖然有女兒有兄妹有母親，但關係不和，59歲的她獨個兒睡在天橋底。數千元的蚊型房租金原來不是付不起，但在全港樓荒下，沒業主願租給有一狗三貓之單身女子，為了愛貓狗，她索性到街上睡，一家五口佔用了百多二百呎，樂得自由自在無人管。
"I wish to learn to grow up by myself" Ah Ho, Ken, Dick, and Ah Wing (from left to right) had all slept in the street before. Later, referred by social workers, they moved into this free short-term "Street Sleepers' Shelter". The hostel was provided by a charitable organization. There were eight to twelve bedspaces in a large room. Though it was just a temporary home, Ah Ho elaborately decorated his single bedspace. He purposely put a mirror beside the bed. Every morning, he "combed his hair neatly" before going to work. 「我想學會自己長大」 阿豪、Ken、Dick、阿榮（從左到右）都曾經在街頭露 宿，後經社工轉介，入住短期免費宿舍「露宿者之家」。這家宿舍由慈善團體提供，一間大房裏共有八至十二個床位。雖然不過是個臨時的家，阿豪卻很用心布置自 己的單人床位。他特意在床邊掛了塊鏡子，每早上班前都要先「梳靚個頭」。
Sleeping with the light on It was 11pm. At the Hong Kong Cultural Center in Tsim Sha Tsui, the sky was still bright with light everywhere. The light pollution here was the worst in Hong Kong. It was difficult to tell whether it was day or night. The performances inside the Centre had finished and the door was closed. Street-sleepers walked one by one to what they called "the grand hotel" and made preparation. Among them was a regular visitor Tak Ming - strong build, 6 feet tall and 40 odd years in age, the prime years of life. 與光同眠 晚上11時，尖沙咀香港文化中心漫天仍是光澄澄，這裏光污染冠全港，總叫人分不清是日是夜。場內所有表演活動完畢，關上門，露宿者陸續步至他們口中的「大酒店」準備，當中包括身材健碩有六呎高、正值四十多歲壯年的常客德明。

「青貧族」收入零增長 有打拼無未來？

【經濟日報專訊】常聽到年輕人呻窮？未畢業排公屋、二十幾歲住劏房？根據統計，年輕人薪金升幅不止跑輸通脹，過去十年收入中位數近乎零增長。快餐店豬扒飯十年間也加價2成、租金更升近5成，「青貧族」愈來愈多，如何打拼出未來？

年輕一輩常投訴物價高、租金貴，沒辦法買樓、結婚；老一輩則指現今年輕人吃不了苦、儲不了錢，日後如何成家立室？

若然看看統計處，根據去年人口普查得出的數據，2011年15至24歲男 女月入中位數為8,000元，與2001年數字一樣！25至34歲女性的月入中位數為1.2萬元，十年來也是零增長；只有25至34歲男性月入中位數過去 10年增加500元，略升4%。相比下，45至54歲女性十年間收入增42.9%（見表）。

年輕人薪金 10年原地踏步

年輕人薪金十年間「原地踏步」，但比較2001年與2011年，本港經濟並非沒有增長，GDP總量上升達46%。同時，政府亦鼓勵開辦副學位課程，令更多年輕人可接受高等教育；惟經濟向上、教育水平上升，卻沒有帶動年輕人平均薪金亦同步向上。

薪金停滯不前，還要面對通脹。大家樂的一哥焗豬扒飯，十年來也加價24%，還未計高速增長的樓價、租金（見表）。面對薪水難升、愈做愈窮的現實，難怪令他們一肚怨氣！
台灣把低薪年輕人稱為「青貧族」，當地也有類似問題，去年當地未滿30歲人士年薪平均僅41.6萬台幣（約11萬港元），回到15年前水平！

台灣「青貧族」帶來影響引起社會關注，近年有年輕人「出走」現象；大學畢業生紛紛離台往澳洲、日本等地區找尋工作。

據台灣政府數字，今年已有9,600人申請到澳洲打工；9月份更有台灣傳媒報道一名清大經濟系畢業生，寧願走到澳洲屠宰場工作當「台勞」，一年儲蓄有100萬台幣（約26.6萬港元）。

本港會否湧現「出走潮」，尚未有數據可知，但年輕人收入停滯造成的社會影響，已不可忽視︰

‧結婚難 生兒育女更難

「青貧族」無能力儲蓄，也不能購屋置業，更遑論結婚生兒育女？本港已出現 結婚年齡一再推後、生育意慾低的現象。本港女性首次結婚年齡中位數由1981年的23.9歲，升至去年的28.9歲。青貧族問題若再深化，恐令問題雪上加 霜，生育率難望改善，對未來人口結構的影響可想而知。

‧無儲蓄 買樓談何容易

年輕人薪金不升，通脹卻年年升，薪金被蠶食，此消彼長，儲蓄更難。本港不少80、90後已對「上車」不抱希望，紛紛加入申請公屋行列，公屋輪候冊破紀錄近20萬宗申請，約25%是30歲或以下青年。

年輕人理應滿懷鬥志，對未來有期望才有打拼決心，但歲月消磨後一直原地踏步，又怎不磨蝕鬥志？一早申請公屋，有人批評是年輕人「貪着數」；但從另一角度看，也是他們對未來沒有信心的投射，而這種消極想法，又怎可以全怪他們？

缺新出路 經濟難有新動力

進入全球化年代後，經濟無法轉型，社會原地踏步，後果是由下一代承擔。近年的「月光族」、「啃老族」等現象，或多或少與青年人缺乏新出路有關。

要為年輕人提供出路，本港政府須有新思維配合，開發新創業，才有機會帶來新的經濟動力，提高社會流動，令年輕一代有望突破現在困局；否則再來另一個十年也仍然原地踏步，不止不能成為社會未來的生力軍，最終更只會淪為失落的一代。
