The ethnic minority (EM) community has been building and contributing throughout the history of Hong Kong. However, our society has yet been as inclusive as it should be for them to enjoy equal opportunities and resources for better wellbeing. To track local development and assess overall needs, especially the ethnic minority community members, the Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS), with the generous support from the Kadoorie Charitable Foundation, has made a few research attempts in the past few years, including community survey in Yuen Long and Kwai Tsing.
Neighbours in Numbers: Understanding ethnic minority community in Yuen Long and Kwai Tsing is a concerted effort between HKCSS, local social service partners, members of the community, government, public organisations and academia. We hope these findings are able to inform the public about social inclusion and diversity, the exclusion faced by the EM community members, and with that to act for building a more inclusive and diversified home for all of us.
