Since 1995 most mainland migrants to Hong Kong have been the wives
or non-adult children of Hong Kong men of lower socio-economic
status. The majority of immigrants are women, who throughout the
past two decades have accounted for more than 60% of immigration.
The profile of immigrants has been changing and they are
significantly more educated than was the case in the past. Despite
the improvement in the educational level of mainland Chinese
migrants since 1991, and their increased involvement in paid
employment, migrants have continued to experience great difficulty
integrating into Hong Kong society and anti-immigrant sentiment
seems to have increased over the same period. This raises the
question of how gender and socio-economic factors intersect with
migration to influence the extent of migrants' adaption to Hong
Kong society and culture. The growing anti-China sentiment in Hong
Kong also raises the question of how the integration of migrants
into a destination society is influenced by the political context.
Examining the questions around migration into Hong Kong from a
range of multidisciplinary perspectives, this book combines
quantitative and qualitative data to portray a detailed image of
contemporary Hong Kong.
