Centre for Chinese Family Studies

About

The Centre for Chinese Family Studies aims to be a cross-disciplinary and cross-regional academic organization with a focus on studying families of Chinese descent. Our members conduct research not only among families who originated and reside in Chinese societies (e.g. mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan), but also among families who have migrated between Chinese societies (e.g. from mainland China to Hong Kong) or from Chinese to non-Chinese societies (e.g., to the United States). Our goal is to establish a platform for promoting empirical investigations and intellectual exchanges among scholars concerned about the well-being of families of Chinese descent, and also for disseminating such knowledge to the general public.

Centre for Social and Political Development Studies

About

The Centre for Social and Political Development Studies aims to explore and summarize experiences and lessons from the practice of “one country, two systems”; to generate scientific and applied theories and formulate relevant policies for the reference of stakeholders from different sectors of society; and to stimulate research on local social and political transformations. Its concrete objectives include: analysing the structure and special nature of social class and political groups in Hong Kong; promoting high-quality research on local society, politics, and related policies; unearthing and developing think-tank talent through related research; and providing a platform for rational and evidence-based discussions on local social and political developments.

Social Indicators and Social Development of Hong Kong Programme

The Social Indicators and Social Development of Hong Kong Programme is operated under the auspices of the Centre. The Programme focuses on measuring and studying social developments in Hong Kong. Its prime purpose is to build a comprehensive system of social indicators for Hong Kong, consisting of a set of longitudinal data on the subjective and objective dimensions of social conditions and social changes in the territory. Such data will contribute to evaluations and formulations of public policies as well as to analyses of patterns of social change and explorations of social issues and problems.

Centre for Social Innovation Studies

About

In August 2015, the Centre for Civil Society Studies was formally renamed the Centre for Social Innovation Studies. “Social innovation” is a broad concept that incorporates the latest developments in civil society studies. The Centre strives to foster research on civil society in Greater China. Our focus is on assembling basic academic archives to support practitioners, research officers, NGOs, and foundations in gaining a comprehensive and systematic understanding of civil society in the context of Chinese society. Three databases have been established by the Centre, namely, the NGO Archive, the Collective Action Database, and the Giving and Civic Awareness Database.

Research

Evaluation Research and Advisory Service

The Centre provides research and advisory services for civil society intermediary organizations and NGOs in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macao. Thus, through professional research and advisory services, we are supporting the development of civil society in the Greater China region.

The Centre has been conducting evaluation research and consultancy work for various government departments, foundations, and non-profit organizations in mainland China since 2008. Such work has included the “Wenchuan Earthquake Disaster Relief and Rehabilitation Report”, the “One Foundation Canonical Project Philanthropy Award Evaluation”, the “Global Greengrants Fund China Projects Evaluation”, the “Consultancy on Charity Development Evaluation Projects in Chinese Cities”, and more. These evaluation and consultancy projects have supported the strategic thinking of stakeholders from different domains of civil society in China, which has helped to promote the collaborative development of civil societies.

In Hong Kong, the Centre has similarly participated in academic research and consultancy projects on issues relating to the development of civil society. In the process, we have explored various tools for evaluating the effectiveness of such tools and their scope of application. The Centre joined the CUHK consultancy team in advising the Social Enterprise Advisory Committee under the Hong Kong government’s Home Affairs Bureau. We helped the Committee investigate the past experiences and future direction of the development of social enterprises in Hong Kong.

Research

Youth Political Participation and Social Media Use

To examine the roles of youth’s social media use in their offline and online political participation, this project conducted a mobile phone survey among Hong Kong permanent residents aged 15-29 (N=829). It aimed to generate impactful policy implications for youth and to enhance the political participation of youth as the positive force of transformative social change.

Health Behaviour in School-aged Children in Hong Kong

This linked project with Utrecht University will adopt the standardized protocol of a World Health Organisation collaborative cross-national survey (Health Behaviour in School-aged Children, HBSC) and conduct a school-based survey through self-completion questionnaires administered in the classrooms. The specific population selected for sampling is young people attending school aged 11, 13, and 15. The recommended sample size for each of the three age groups is set at approximately 1,500 students, totalling 4,500 students for each cycle.

Gender Research Centre

About

The Gender Research Centre is the first research unit on gender and women’s issues in Hong Kong. Established as the “Gender Research Programme” in 1985, it was renamed “Gender Research Centre” in 2000. Our missions are to promote knowledge in gender research and women’s studies, and to support actions that enhance gender equality and the status of women.

Over the past three decades, the Centre has been committed to promoting and conducting academic research related to gender issues and gender equality. Our latest research projects include the status of women in Hong Kong and the challenges that they face, discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender stereotypes and the construction of masculinity in Hong Kong.

Sexualities Research Programme (SRP)

The Sexualities Research Programme (SRP) was set up under the Gender Research Centre in August 2016. The SRP is the first research programme in Hong Kong dedicated to conducting rigorous, independent research on sexuality issues, with a particular focus on sexual orientation, gender identity, law and social policy.

Research

Study on the Feasibility of Legislating against Discrimination on the Grounds of Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Intersex Status

In Hong Kong, the debate about whether or not there shall be legislation against discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity and intersex status has been ongoing for 20 years. The Study on Legislation against Discrimination on the Grounds of Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Intersex Status conducted by the Gender Research Centre, commissioned by the Equal Opportunities Commission, an independent statutory body of the Hong Kong government, featured a territory-wide telephone public opinion survey with 1,005 respondents; qualitative findings collected from three public forums, 14 LGBTI focus groups, 13 public focus groups including those with strong concerns, as well as online and postal submission of opinions.

According to the findings of the Study, the discrimination that LGBTI people reported is notable. Based on the telephone survey, 55.7% of respondents agree with protection against discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity and intersex status. This is almost a twofold increase from the corresponding figure (28.7%) in a 2005 Government survey. Support was particularly strong among those aged 18-24, 91.8% of whom agreed with legislation. Although there were strong views expressed against legislation from some religiously-affiliated groups during the Study, nearly half (48.9%) of survey respondents who identified as having religious beliefs agreed that there should be legal protection against discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity and intersex status.

The Study also conducted legal review and analysis of comparable anti-discrimination legislation in other jurisdictions, including those with similar legal systems to Hong Kong and those which share similar Chinese cultural characteristics and influences, including Taiwan and Macau.

The research has been reported in almost all local media outlets, submitted by the Equal Opportunities Commission to the major relevant government units, including the Chief Executive of the HKSAR and Chief Secretary for Administration as well as all members of the Legislative Council.

Exploratory Study on Gender Stereotyping and Its Impact on the Male Gender

Because Chinese women have historically been disadvantaged compared to their male counterparts, most of the research on gender relationships has focused on the plight of women. However, while men are the de facto beneficiaries of patriarchy, they, too, face multiple challenges related to gender norms and expectations.

In 2011, the Centre conducted a project commissioned by the Equal Opportunities Commission to examine men’s problems and challenges, with a particular focus on how gender stereotypes have impacted men’s well-being. Our findings suggest that the gender identity of Hong Kong men is predominantly defined by their breadwinning capacity. This hegemonic masculinity leads men to use their career achievement, entrepreneurship, and upward mobility as the core measures of success as a man. On the cultural dimension, the majority of our respondents indicated that they believe that a man should be more successful than his female partner. With respect to family life, the rising cost of living and costs involved in raising children are challenges for men. Unfortunately, because of the traditional idea that men should be strong, they are reluctant and ashamed to seek help when facing emotional distress related to financial problems, intimate relationships, sexual orientation, addictive behaviours, and so on. In the report, the research team discussed the implications of the findings for policy recommendations to further promote gender equality.

Women and Girls in Hong Kong: Current Situation and Future Challenges

This research project was a joint initiative of the Centre and The Women’s Foundation. The team members included scholars in the disciplines of anthropology, business studies, criminology, demography, education, journalism, law, political science, psychology, public health, social work, and sociology. The project addressed pressing gender issues in areas related to education, labour market participation, poverty, health, violence against women, families, leadership, the media, ethnic minority and migrant women, girl-children, and institutional mechanisms of gender equality. Together, the research team provided a comprehensive review of the status of women and girls in the aforementioned areas, outlined the causes of persistent inequalities, compared the situations in Hong Kong with those in other developed countries, and made recommendations on policies to reduce gender inequalities.
