英文摘要

This paper attempts to examine the issue of quality of life in Hong Kong. First, the different sources of data pertinent to the quality of life of Hong Kong are described. Second, based on a review of the published QOL studies stored in major databases in different academic disciplines, several characteristics of quality of life studies in Hong Kong are identified. Third, three existing projects (Indicators of Social Development Project, Social Development Index and the CUHK Hong Kong Quality of Life Index) involving the collection of trend data over time are described. With particular reference to the findings generated from this database and other quality of life studies, several observations pertinent to the quality of life of Hong Kong are outlined. These observations include the followings: a) there has been progress in the quality of life in Hong Kong after 1997; b) despite overall progress, some social groups do not show much improvement; c) subjective quality of life has dropped after 1997; d) warning signals about declining quality of life in Hong Kong are emerging; e) there are many psychosocial correlates of the subjective quality of life; f) quality of life in Hong Kong is better than quality of life in mainland China based on some indicators; and g) different studies display different and sometimes even contradictory results. Finally, several methodological issues pertinent to the study of quality of life in Hong Kong are outlined, which provide some food for thoughts regarding the future direction of quality of life research in Hong Kong.
