CASER is happy to announce that our pilot survey of HKPSSD (Hong Kong Panel Study of Social Dynamics), the first ever household panel in Hong Kong, has just been completed. In this connection, we would like to thank all the households who kindly gave us their information and completed the questionnaires in the pilot survey. Before re-contacting them during the second wave of the panel study in a couple of years, we will be in touch with them again later and let them know more about the results of this research study in the new year.
After the pilot study, CASER will launch the main survey of HKPSSD in January 2011. We are hoping to collect information from 3,500 households with 10,000 individuals in Hong Kong. Our interviewers, carrying identification documents issued by HKUST, will visit their homes and conduct face-to-face interviews with them. We would very much appreciate the support and cooperation of all selected households and individuals.
We are more than happy to answer all your enquiries concerning HKPSSD and the identity of our interviewers via our hotline at 2358 5875. For more information about HKPSSD, please visit:

We wish you all a more prosperous year!
IAS Distinguished Lecture Series: “The Economy, Public Polices and Poverty in the US: Implications for Hong Kong” by Prof. Sheldon Danziger
It was our honor to have Professor Sheldon Danziger to give us a public lecture on “The Economy, Public Polices and Poverty in the US: Implications for Hong Kong” in our third lecture of the IAS Distinguished Lecture Series on Inequality and Poverty held on 16 December 2010 at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Prof. Danziger is the Henry J. Meyer Distinguished University Professor of Public Policy and the Director of National Poverty Center at the University of Michigan.
The abstract of Prof. Danziger’s lecture is as follows:
The poverty rate in the US today is about the same as it was in the late 1960s and is much higher than in many European countries because the 21st century economy does not deliver the benefits of prosperity and productivity to all workers. For most of the last 35 years, the gains from economic growth have not “trickled down” to the poor, and government policies have not done enough to help less-educated workers and their children escape from poverty.
The “Great Recession,” which began in the US in December 2007, has both raised poverty and made reducing poverty in the future more difficult. I show that American attitudes toward labor market policies and toward social welfare policies and tolerance of large inequalities differ from those in most European countries and help explain why US poverty and inequality are higher than in many European countries.
I conclude that US antipoverty policies have the potential to reduce poverty and promote opportunities in today’s globalized economies, and thus are relevant to Hong Kong. For example, US experiences influenced the very successful “war on child poverty” that was launched in the United Kingdom by Prime Minister Tony Blair in the late 1990’s. Policies like the ones implemented in the UK that focus on two issues deserve consideration by policymakers interested in reducing poverty—(1) making work pay for workers adversely affected by today’s globalized economy and (2) promoting educational opportunities for low income children to reduce the intergenerational transmission of poverty.
我們很榮幸邀請到Prof. Sheldon Danziger蒞臨香港科技大學為我們主講第三次不平等和貧困系列的IAS傑出學人講座，講題為「美國的經濟、公共政策和貧窮：給香港的啟示」。Prof. Danziger是美國密西根大學公共政策的傑出教授，同時是國家扶貧中心的主任。

Symposium on “Youth and Social Change”
In the past 30 years, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China all experienced great economic and social transition. After rapid economic development, the Chinese societies experienced the gradual transformation of economic structure, the rapid popularization of elementary education and the expansion of tertiary education. These structural changes have had far-reaching impacts on the social mobility opportunities. At the same time, the development of globalization and the internet brought the young generation who were born and grew up in 1980s with unique experience on access to information, mode of information exchange and formation of values that are different from other generations. Over the past couple of years, the post-80s generation, being a “unique” group, has been frequently under the spot light of media and public discussion in the three societies. However, there is a lack of detailed data collection and rigorous empirical research on this age group in social science studies. For this purpose, Center for Applied Social and Economic Research, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Central Policy Unit, the HKSAR Government jointly organized the "Youth and Social Change" symposium, inviting senior social science scholars from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China with the focus on social conditions and difficulties faced by the contemporary young generation, to publicize relevant research results and discuss the possibilities of future cooperation in comparative studies.
Topics and speakers presented in the symposium are as follows:
Post-80s Generation in China

Institute of Sociology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences
Silent Revolution: Social Diversity of Higher Education in Mainland China and Hong Kong

過去三十年香港、台灣和中國大陸均經歷了巨大的經濟與社會變遷。繼經濟騰飛之後，兩岸三地的華人社會經歷了產業結構的逐步轉型、基礎教育的迅速普及和高等教育的不斷擴張。這些結構性的變化對社會流動機會的影響尤為深遠。同時，在全球化和互聯網的發展下，使得1980年代出生和成長起來的年輕一代，在信息的獲取，交流模式的選擇和價值觀的形成方面，都具有與其他世代不同而獨特的經歷。 “80後”作為一個“獨特”的群體，經常出現在兩岸三地的媒體上和公眾討論中。然而，社會科學對這個年齡群體的詳實的數據蒐集和嚴格的實証研究還相當缺乏。為此，香港科技大學應用社會經濟研究中心和香港特區政府中央政策組共同舉辦“青年與社會變遷”專題研討會，邀請兩岸三地的資深社會學者就當代年輕人的狀況和面臨的困境，發表相關研究成果，並探討未來進行比較研究的可能性。
以下為研討會中發表的講題及其講者：
內地的80後世代
中國社會科學院社會學研究所李春玲教授
無聲的革命：内地和香港大學生的社會來源研究
香港科技大學人文社會科學院院長、講座教授李中清教授
香港的80後世代：其形貎及境況
香港科技大學應用社會經濟研究中心主任吳曉剛教授
中國獨生子女：「小皇帝」還是新公民﹖
南京大學社會學系系主任風笑天教授
台灣青少年的成長歷程：家庭與學校的影響
台灣中央研究院社會學研究所伊慶春教授
青年人的不滿情緒：渴望流動還是追求非物質價值?
香港中文大學公共政策研究中心主任趙永佳教授
