Commissioned by shopping complex, Plaza Hollywood, the survey concluded that Hong Kong women rated money as the most important thing to their happiness.

The survey also insinuated the salaries of women’s husbands, who they prefer to be doctors, lawyers and engineers were a main factor in what they consider a good life.

The survey makes no correlation of such career with personality or ambitiousness often associated with them.

Lisa Moore, research and advocacy manager from The Women’s Foundation in Hong Kong says the survey may touch on women’s concerns about economic security, but doesn’t give the whole picture.

“The lack of a universal pension in Hong Kong means the million or so women who are full time caregivers or are working in the informal economy are particularly vulnerable in terms of long term financial security,” she said.

“At the same time, women who are in the workforce are disadvantaged by the gender pay gap with women in Hong Kong earning on average 17 per cent less than their male counterparts.”
