现代香港人的传统家庭观念

Abstract:Traditionally，the family was the basis of Chinese social life. In recent decades，Hong Kong has developed rapidly into an international city. Economic growth is leading to a series of social changes，including in the area of family life. In order to understand the traditional family values of Hong Kong people and the impact these values might have on their quality of life，we used the dataset from the survey on“Relationships among Family Members”，initiated by the Central Policy Unit. The empirical results demonstrate that Hong Kong people still maintain traditional Chinese family values. It was also found that people who hold more traditional family values are more satisfied with their life. This implies that tradition and modernity are by no means incompatible. Changes in family life in Hong Kong may be due not to changes in family values，but to objective environmental factors.
