The results show that the decline in the happiness level in recent years is more significant for Hong Kong youth than for older peo…
Conduit for Engagement? School Curriculum and Youth Political Participation in Hong Kong
Learning about political issues through the new core subject of Liberal Studies (LS) in senior secondary education in Hong Kong has become ‘socially problematic’ amid mounting concern of politicians and pundits who see a link between such learning and the recent waves of student protests. Using data from in-depth interviews with senior secondary students in Hong Kong, we explore how politically disengaged and engaged youth experienced their LS le…
Women's Labor Force Participation in Hong Kong
Using Hong Kong population census and by-census data from 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006, and 2011, this study examined the trends and determinants of women's labor force participation (WLFP) in Hong Kong. It looked at the determinants of WLFP from the perspectives of availability, marketability, market demand, and new household economic theory. The results showed that the labor force participation for married women has been rising over the study period,…

This volume examines the developmental history of Hong Kong, focusing on its rise to the status of a Chinese global…
