Consolidation of Findings of Family Surveys Conducted since 2011

This comprehensive research report was commissioned by the Family Council of the HKSAR Government and conducted by an independent academic research team from the Policy 21 Limited and the Department of Social Work and Social Administration at the University of Hong Kong. The report synthesizes and consolidates empirical data from numerous family surveys, academic studies, and administrative datasets conducted across Hong Kong since 2011. It provides a multi-dimensional analysis of key structural and social trends impacting contemporary Hong Kong families. Major thematic areas covered include family structures and living arrangements, marriage and fertility attitudes, work-family balance, intergenerational dynamics, parenting stress, and social support networks. By comparing longitudinal indicators, the study tracks shifts in traditional family values, gender roles, and community cohesion within Hong Kong's rapidly changing socioeconomic environment. The document culminates in policy recommendations aimed at fostering family-friendly workplace measures, strengthening community-based support services, and informing future family policy frameworks. Serving as an essential primary empirical resource, this open-access report is highly valuable for academics, policymakers, and students in social work, sociology, public policy, and Hong Kong family studies.
