Social unrest and the poverty problem in Hong Konggrowth imbalance and sustainable development /[electronic resource] :by Paul Siu Fai Yip. - Singapore :Springer Singapore :2021. - xxii, 221 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

A Socioeconomic History of Hong Kong -- Poverty Prevalence and Trends -- Perceptions of Poverty and Inequality -- Domains of Poverty -- Health Effects and Mortality -- Subgroup Analysis -- Policy Levers -- Community Action.

This book discusses the policy and public health challenges in Hong Kong from the perspective of economic and social welfare challenges, specifically focusing on the poverty and inequality research supported by the Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) Charities Trust. Conducted by Prof Yip and his research team at the HKJC's Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention at the University of Hong Kong across a five-year period, the book presents analyses based on high quality statistical data to explore some of the socioeconomic roots of the civil unrest in 2019, while also acknowledging the limitations and challenges of trying to build a stronger society under the constraints of the One Country Two Systems policy. Building on extensive research done by the research team and some governmental data, it provides concrete, evidence-based suggestions for reducing poverty in a high-income society, which are useful not only for Hong Kong but also for other societies experiencing similar challenges. It makes an original contribution to research into inequalities, poverty and social policies, and will be of interest to those seeking to understand the ongoing political challenges in Hong Kong and how they relate to the socioeconomic challenges and policies that affect the everyday lives of ordinary people there. It is relevant to academics, students and policymakers concerned with social inequalities and policy intervention.
