8 December 2024

The "Survey on the Life Satisfaction of Dependents Under the Talent Admission Scheme in Hong Kong: A Social Support Perspective," jointly organised by The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong and Amplify, was launched on 8 December 2024 at Asia World-Expo, Hong Kong.

Led by Professor Mok Ka Ho , Provost and Vice-President (Academic & Research) of The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong, the survey will be conducted by Doctor of Policy Studies students from the collaborative programme between Lingnan University and The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong. The initiative is supported by the Hong Kong Council for Educational Administration, Hong Kong Council of Early Childhood Education and Services, Yau Tsim Mong District Home Affairs Department, Yau Tsim Mong Federation of Associations, Yau Tsim Mong Healthy City Executive Committee, Hong Kong Quality and Talent Migrants Association, Hong Kong Youth Union, and Yau Tsim Mong Youths Society. The survey aims to explore the life satisfaction of dependents under the scheme, identify key influencing factors, and provide insights to enhance policies for positioning Hong Kong as an international education hub.

A panel discussion during the launching ceremony featured Professor Mok Ka Ho ; Principal Lee Siu Hok, President of the Hong Kong Council for Educational Administration; and Mr. John Kan, Honorary Advisor of the Hong Kong Council of Early Childhood Education and Services and Chairman of the Top Talent Pass Scheme Association. The discussion addressed ways to optimise the scheme to attract and retain talent, meet dependents’ educational needs, and improve early childhood education support for talent families.

The survey findings, scheduled for release in February 2025, aim to inform policy recommendations and strengthen societal support for talent families.
