There are an estimated 100,000 disadvantaged elderly living alone. Those who have no descendants are more likely to be willing to participate. They might as well first use their home equity to support themselves and only then, if need be, rely on government assistance.
至於獨居的弱勢老人，估計全國約有 10 萬戶，其中有些人因沒有繼承人，加入意願應該較高，不妨考慮先自救，再靠政府救助。
