COMPREHEND: Economic Security & Upward Mobility

Study on the Economic Security and Upward Mobility of UK Hongkongers

This study delves into the economic security of Hong Kong immigrants in the UK, focusing on both their present and anticipated financial stability, as well as their experiences and challenges in the UK job market. Beyond their personal economic outlook, the research also explores hopes and concerns for the next generation—specifically, whether immigrant parents believe their children are receiving an education on par with their peers and feel optimistic about their children’s future prospects in the UK workforce.

本報告及其調查結果旨在就制定更具包容性的政策或服務向英國和地方政府、教育機構、和其他非政府組織提供建議。

In September 2024, HKB launched Initiative COMPREHEND, a project aimed at enhancing mutual understanding between UK, regional and local governments, and the UK’s Hongkonger community. The initiative seeks to improve policymakers’ awareness of the experiences, needs, and perspectives of UK Hongkongers, while also helping Hongkongers better understand UK policies relevant to their lives.
