Exploring the Social Lives of Older Long‐Term Hong Kong Immigrants in Australia: Insights From Casinos and Churches
While formal social services are crucial for fostering social connections and enhancing well‐being, older long‐term Chinese immigrants often underutilise them. Moreover, the social lives of such immigrants in alternative social settings remain underexplored. This paper examines the social lives of Hong Kong immigrants aged 60 and older in casinos and churches in Australia, where most have lived for over 30 years with at least one child abroad or …

Seeking refuge in a productivist welfare regime: Well-being of African asylum seekers/refugees in Hong Kong
Consistent with its productivist welfare model, Hong Kong offers limited welfare support to asylum seekers and refugees (ASR). This study examines the living conditions, experiences, support systems and well-being of African ASRs in Hong Kong in the context of the city's productivist welfare regime. Semi-structured interviews with 53 African ASRs revealed that they faced economic precarity, social stigma, and social isolation, which culminated in…
The Impact of Digital Technologies on the Transnational Aging Experience of Older Hong Kongers
Despite significant changes brought about by international migration and global population aging, research on older adults has been primarily focused on proximate care and support networks, overlooking the opportunities available to those affected by migration. Filling these gaps, this article draws on in-depth interviews with 47 older parents (aged 60+) from Hong Kong who are living in transnational family and social contexts to examine how the …
The Quest for Lifestyle: Reverse Family Migration among Hong Kong Returnee Parents
Existing analyses of lifestyle in migration studies have focused on individual, rather than family, aspirations, while studies of Chinese transnational migration have focused on instrumentalism, rather than the quality-of-life factors, driving family migration. Moreover, these two fields of study have tended to center on the privileges of relatively affluent migrants, largely overlooking important familial and economic dimensions for middle- and …
Gender equality or just more involved fathering? A critical examination of the division of childcare in Hong Kong’s professional middle-class families
The ideals of paternal involvement in childcare have become evermore celebrated in Hong Kong and elsewhere, but are these signs of a new form of gender equality in the family? Based on in-depth interviews with professional middle-class families in Hong Kong, our findings suggest not. Although mothers’ expectations of paternal involvement, privileged class positions and assistance from domestic helpers have contributed to increased father’s engage…
Transnational Familyhood and Migration Strategies among Parachute Kids-turned-Parents from Hong Kong
The impact of separation on children’s well-being and family relations has attracted growing attention in the study of transnational families, but little is known about its continued effect on life-course transitions and pathways. Focussing on 25 returnee parents who as “parachute kids” had lived away from their families in Hong Kong, this study explores how their prior experiences of family separation affect how these parents plan for the emigra…
Mobility, belongingness and schooling experiences of Chinese cross-border students
Investigating the differential mobility experiences of Chinese cross-border students
Recent migration studies have adopted the lens of mobility to examine the stratifying effects of border policies, but few investigate the differential mobility of migrant families and children. This paper aims to contribute to the migration literature by considering the interplay between border policies, family configurations, and differential mobility. We apply the lens of differential mobility to the experiences of Chinese cross-border pupils –…
Global policy paradigms, gender equality and everyday lives in Beijing, Hong Kong, Seoul and Taipei
Focusing on the interface between gender equality, the labour market, and everyday lives in four East Asian societies – China, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan – this article seeks to articulate the spatial expression and multi-scalarity of global governance and policy paradigms. It will demonstrate that whilst regions, places and people are influenced by global processes and paradigms, these move and embed in different ways across spaces, time …
An Outsider is Always an Outsider: Migration, Social Policy and Social Exclusion in East Asia
The dynamics of social exclusion and inclusion of certain groups of citizens and migrant workers is a complex and multi-dimensional process, which is shaped by institutional frameworks as well as informal practices. While some of these frameworks are justified by economic rationality, migrants with low socio-economic background are often excluded from aspects of labour and social protection, therefore reinforcing hegemonic ideas about "insidernes…
