A study conducted by researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong explores the impact of housing informality on the mental health and quality of life of female caregivers living in informal tiny homes in Hong Kong. The study found that cramped living spaces in these homes were associated with increased likelihood of anxiety and depression, as well as reduced health-related quality of life. Negative experiences at home, such as housework burnout and family conflicts, were found to contribute to these mental health issues. The study suggests the need for establishing minimum space standards for subdivided residential dwellings and ensuring equitable access to community spaces for deprived families.
