Issues and Challenges in Performing Family Impact Analysis – Implications for H ong K ong

Originating in the USA in the 1970s, it has become state/provincial or federal policy in the USA , Canada (Alberta), Australia, and Hong Kong. The policy has had …
The debate over the joint parental responsibility model in Hong Kong
Hong Kong's Law Reform Commission recommended the joint parental responsibility model into Hong Kong's family law in 2005. A public consultation on whether to implement the model by legislative means was launched in late 2011. An Internet search and secondary analysis of public opinion about the model and its legislation was conducted. It was found that stakeholders held diverse opinions on the legislation of the model. The greatest concern is ov…
The Effect of Socioeconomic Status and Family Structure on Parental Warmth and Parental Control in a C hinese Context
We report the results of a telephone survey conducted in 2008 in H ong K ong, which aimed to identify C hinese parents' parental warmth and parental control ( guan ) and to explore their relationship with the sociodemographic characteristics of the parents. The respondents perceived themselves to be warm (mean = 3.44) and educating their child (mean = 3.46). The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the five sociodemographic charact…
Risk and Protective Factors of Marital Adjustment to Crossborder Work Arrangement of Hong Kong Residents
With the close economic relationship between Hong Kong and the Mainland, cross-border commuting work arrangements have become a common work-family arrangement of Hong Kong residents. Previous studies have focused on the detrimental influences of the cross-border work arrangement on family relationships. More recent studies with a resilience perspective have revealed that there are both risks and successes in family adjustment to the cross-border …

The Impact of Fathers' Work and Family Conflicts on Children's Self-Esteem
Sex Differences in Perceived Family Functioning and Family Resources in Hong Kong Families
Although enhancing family functioning has become a rising concern of social workers in Chinese contexts such as Hong Kong, little has been known on perceived family functioning and family resources. To fill in this knowledge gap, this article reports part of the results of a telephone survey conducted in Hong Kong, aiming to identify the sex differences in these two areas. The results of the study have shown that Chinese women perceived better af…
A resilience perspective on family adjustment to cross‐border work arrangements of Hong Kong residents
With the close economic relationship between Hong Kong and the Mainland, cross‐border commutes for work have become an increasingly common work‐family arrangement for Hong Kong residents. Due to the special social context of Mainland China, the impact of the cross‐border work arrangement is mostly understood in terms of the cost or its negative impact on the families involved. However, this overlooks positive adjustment and its protective factors…
Parent-Child Relationships, Parental Relationships and Children's Self-Esteem in Post-Divorce Families in Hong Kong
In recent research on post-divorce families in Hong Kong, there has been a shift away from the assumption of pathology, and in favor of a trend of increasing attention to children's resilience and the benefits of a continuous parental relationship. There remains, however, a lack of empirical knowledge to guide social work practices in this area in contemporary Hong Kong. The present study is designed to examine how children's relationships with b…
Patterns of Post-Divorce Parental Alliance and Children's Self-Esteem in Hong Kong
With the traditional practice of excluding the nonresident parent from post-divorce families in Chinese societies, the importance of post-divorce parental alliance has largely been ignored. Patterns of post-divorce parental alliance in Hong Kong have been explored in this study, re-conceptualizing post-divorce families as binuclear families. Based on the data of 62 resident parents and their children, a typology with six patterns was proposed. Th…
Nonresident Parents' Participation in Nonresidential Parenting in a Chinese Context
There are different roles of fatherhood and motherhood in the traditional Chinese culture. Furthermore, sons are more valued than daughters in the patrilineal system of Chinese families. How do these cultural values influence the nonresident parents' post-divorce involvement with the children? A pioneer study on nonresident parents' participation in post-divorce co-parenthood was conducted in Hong Kong. Results of the study alerted us to the sele…
