In this Friday, March 17, 2017 photo, Li Suet-wen and her son, 6, and daughter, 8, live in a 120-square foot room crammed with a bunk bed, small couch, fridge, washing machine and small table in an aging walkup in Hong Kong as she pays HK$4,500 ($580) a month in rent and utilities. That's nearly half the HK$10,000 ($1,290) she earns at a bakery decorating cakes. They're among an estimated 200,000 people in the former British colony living in “subdivided units”. That's 18 percent more than four years ago and includes 35,500 children 15 and under, government figures show. (Photo by Kin Cheung/AP Photo)
