Principal Investigator Project Title & Description
Professor Eric Fong Hong Kong General Social Survey

This project aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of the social and economic well-being of people living in Hong Kong. To achieve this, we propose to collect data on various types of information from Hong Kong residents, including socioeconomic status, migration intentions, health and wellbeing, social attitudes, and personal background information. By collecting a more comprehensive set of data, we can gain a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of these issues. We plan to interview about 4,000 individuals between the ages of 18 and 65.

Early Childhood Development in Hong Kong: A Longitudinal Study (RGC CRF2023/24)

This project aims to establish the Hong Kong Early Childhood Development Longitudinal Study (HK-ECDLS), the first city-representative study in Hong Kong, tracking the development of about 3,000 young children (starting from age 3) from 200 kindergartens for three consecutive years. In response to the growing importance of early childhood education and care for sustainable economic and social development, this study seeks to fill the fundamental information gap by building a longitudinal dataset that includes comprehensive information on children and their families to provide the quality and breadth of evidence necessary to monitor and evaluate child development in Hong Kong. The evidence generated from this research will be invaluable to various stakeholders, ranging from children and families to schools, communities, and society, and informative to the development of effective policies and intervention programmes to promote positive and healthy child development.
