Equal opportunity policy and the reverse gender gap in academic achievement: Evidence from a quasi-experiment in Hong Kong
Using interpretable machine learning methods to identify the relative importance of lifestyle factors for overweight and obesity in adults: Pooled evidence from CHNS and NHANES
Pooled evidence from two nationally representative studies suggests that recognizing demographic differences and emphasizing the relative importance of sedentary behavior, alcohol consumption, and protein intake are beneficial for managing body weight status in adults. The specific risk thresholds for lifestyle factors observed in this study can help inform and guide future research and public health actions
The Scarring Effect of First Job Precarity: New Evidence from a Panel Study in Hong Kong
Does entering the labour market via precarious employment have a long-term scarring effect on one's career? Prior research proposes diverse arguments, but firm conclusions remain elusive. Using panel data from Hong Kong, this study rekindles this debate by revealing the long-lasting effect of first job precarity on workers' subsequent career prospects. A comprehensive measure of precarious employment is constructed to simultaneously account for e…
Who cares? Childcare support and women's labor supply in Hong Kong
Prior research explored the individual contributions of grandparents, domestic workers, and preschool institutions in supporting maternal employment, yet few have examined them simultaneously. More importantly, the increasing diversity and multiplicity in childcare arrangement throughout different stages of childrearing has been largely overlooked. Utilizing data from the Hong Kong Panel Study of Social Dynamics (HKPSSD), this study examines the …
Preserving History in The Metaverse: A Platform to Digitize the Campus Cultural Heritage in Indonesia
This study examines the innovative application of metaverse and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technologies in safeguarding the digital assets of the East Hall, a historical building situated within the Bandung Institute of Technology's Ganesha Campus. Through the metaverse, the preservation of heritage buildings takes on a new meaning, as it allows us not only to preserve them as physical structures but also to capture their historical sign…
In sight, in mind: Spatial proximity to protest sites and changes in peoples' political attitudes
Occupying public spaces can be an effective tactic for conveying a semantic message of protest and gaining wider support; however, it may also severely disrupt the everyday lives of non-participants and causes a backfire. Therefore, it remains unclear whether and how the occupy movements have shifted political attitudes among the general public. Bringing a social-spatial perspective to the case of the Occupy Central Movement (OCM) in Hong Kong, t…
Separate and unequal: Hukou , school segregation, and educational inequality in urban China
Competition for educational resources between local citizens and new arrivals in receiving cities can lead to severe school segregation, thereby generating great educational inequality. In this paper, we focus on a special form of segregation in urban China that is based on the holding of a local hukou, which is a crucial criterion for school enrollment. Using data from a nationally representative school-based student panel survey, we find that m…

From Political Power to Personal Wealth: Privatization and Elite Opportunity in Post-Reform China
The impact of market transition on economic returns to political power in post-socialist regimes has been the topic of heated debate in past decades. This article aims to provide new answers to this old question by examining how the economic opportunities available to former political elites have been shaped by the process of privatization. Based on firm-level data from a nationally representative survey on private enterprises and entrepreneurs, …
Effects of Neighborhood Discrimination Towards Mainland Immigrants on Mental Health in Hong Kong
Using data from a representative sample of Chinese adults who were surveyed in the Hong Kong Panel Study of Social Dynamics (HKPSSD), we estimate the effects of neighborhood discrimination towards immigrants from Mainland China on the mental health of Chinese residents in Hong Kong. Contrary to our expectations, discrimination towards immigrants from Mainland China measured at the neighborhood level is not associated with the poor mental health o…
Family background, parenting practices, and child outcomes: Chinese migrants’ offspring in Hong Kong
Using data from the 2011 population census and the Hong Kong Panel Study of Social Dynamics, this paper examines the academic performance and non-cognitive skills of the children of Chinese migrants in Hong Kong aged 14 and below. Our analyses show that the poorer academic performance of Chinese migrants’ children results mainly from disadvantageous family background and parenting practices. Children of cross-border and migrant families do not di…
Migrant Children in Shanghai: A Research Note on the Pisa-Shanghai Controversy
The strong performance of Shanghai students in the last two rounds of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) has caused widespread controversy about the credibility and representativeness of the data. In this paper, we examine the openness and equity of Shanghai’s education system by investigating migrant students’ family socioeconomic status (SES) composition and its impact on educational outcomes, based on the PISA-Shanghai dat…
