Self‐Abandonment or Seeking a Way Out
Existing studies have primarily focused on migrant children's compulsory education, academic performance, and psychological wellbeing. Less attention has been paid to how migrant children themselves perceive, negotiate, and adjust their educational expectations towards the end of compulsory education under unequal institutional conditions. This study explores the complex process through which migrant children's educational expectations are formed…
Institutional and Perceptional Welfare Boundaries
The role of parent–child communication on Chinese rural left-behind children’s educational expectation
Parents are the most intimate and proximal influences on a child’s development. Migration-induced parental absence in rural China might pose a considerable threat to the educational development of left-behind children because of insufficient parent–child communication. Despite growing scholarly attention, we know little of the effect of parental migration on either parent–child communication or the educational expectations of rural students of di…

Perceptional Welfare Boundary for Migrant Families in China
Despite recent reforms to China's hukou system, internal migrants in urban centres continue to face significant barriers in accessing welfare benefits and public services. This study introduces the concept of the perceptional welfare boundary to explain how welfare exclusion persists beyond formal institutional constraints. Drawing on qualitative data from focus‐group interviews with migrants in Shenzhen, the analysis shows how this boundary is p…
Capitals and Educational Expectations Among Chinese Migrant Children
Migrant children have no guarantee of schooling after the end of compulsory education in Chinese cities because of the restriction of the hukou system and the high school entrance examination policies. It remains unclear how different types of high school entrance examination policies in China play a role in the relationship between the educational expectations of migrant children and various dimensions of capitals they have. Based on 2,808 Chine…

This study identified four types of students involved in the context of cross-border migration and examined the impacts of migration status, residential location, school location, and migration strategy on a wide set of indicators of children’s well-being. Based on a…

Effects of early-life environmental stress on risk-taking tendency of adolescents in rural areas of southwestern China
This study provides a comprehensive model linking early-life environmental stresses to adolescents' risk-taking, integrating objective and subjective measures of stress. The findings offer insights into mechanisms driving risk-taking tendencies. Also, it have significant implications for developing interventions aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of early-life stress on adolescent development, particularly for left-behind children in rural C…
Interventions for left-behind children in Mainland China
As the discussion of Chinese left-behind children (LBC) continues, intervention programs dedicated to this population increase and diversify. While reviews have summarized intervention programs promoting LBC’s health and psychological wellbeing, there is no synthesis depicting a comprehensive picture. This scoping review systematically examines interventions tackling LBC’s various issues and identifies their design and foci. We performed a system…
Does “who I am” influence “how I feel”? Cultural identity and mental health among Hong Kong Chinese adolescents
Securing a clear sense of identity is a critical issue in adolescence, yet the role that cultural identity plays in the well-being of youths remains unclear.

Contribution of family and school factors to the health and wellbeing of cross-border, new immigrant and local students in Hong Kong
Trauma, Resilience, and Mental Health in Migrant and Non-Migrant Youth
Resilience is a dynamic process of positive adaptation to significant adversity. While there has been substantial focus on risks and negative outcomes associated with youth migrancy, there is limited evidence of the relationship between the adversity of migration, and resilience, wellbeing, and positive mental health in adolescents. This international study aimed to explore the differences in resilience, wellbeing, and mental health behaviors in …
Mapping the Cultural Identities of Youths in Hong Kong from a Social Capital Perspective

Experiences of migration, parent–child interaction, and the life satisfaction of children in Ghana and China
This study is a pioneer effort to comparatively examine how the life satisfaction of children is influenced by their experiences of migration and by their interactions with parents in two geographical contexts: Ghana and China. It also provides evidence of how these relationships differ across gender groups in the two countries. This study uses survey data collected in 2010 and 2013 from school children and youths aged 11–20 in Ghana ( N = 1,622)…
Challenges of developing and conducting an international study of resilience in migrant adolescents
The sequelae of migration and the effects of local migration policies on children’s physical and mental health are critical to examine, particularly given the historically high numbers of migrants and displaced people. The vulnerability of the study sample and the need to work across cultures and contexts makes research on this group challenging. We outline lessons learned through conducting a pilot study of resilience resources and mental health…

Effects of Social Capital in Multiple Contexts on the Psychosocial Adjustment of Chinese Migrant Children
Drawing upon a sample of 772 migrant children and their parents in Shanghai, China, this study used an ecological framework to investigate how social capital embedded in a range of social contexts (i.e., family, school, peer, and community) influenced the psychosocial adjustment of Chinese migrant children.

Local worker discretion within non-governmental organisations
This paper focuses on the dynamics of frontline organisational practice and examines how non-governmental organisations (NGOs) act as an intermediary between people and the state. It explores how workers in NGOs in the Pearl River Delta are responding to the needs of local migrant populations including rural-to-urban migrants and foreigners within mainland China, cross-border ‘new arrival’ Chinese and ethnic minorities in Hong Kong. We examine ho…

Global cities are marked by precarity, yet little attention has been paid to the spatial overlap between work precarity among migrants and third sector organizations that sustain them. In this paper, we estimate the location of precarious work migrants in two global cities, London and Hong Kong, for both the 2001 and 2011 censuses, using a variety of spatial demographic and quantitative techniques, and then analyze the spatial overlap between thi…

Outcomes Evaluation in Faith -Based Social Services
In response to a recent call for research on the effectiveness of faith-based organizations, this article synthesizes how effectiveness has been defined and measured in evaluation research of faith-based programs. Although evidence indicates that religion can have a positive impact on individuals' well-being, no prior comprehensive review exists of the literature on the effectiveness of faith-based social service programs. Adopting the systematic…
