From 1974, the Hong Kong government allowed residents to employ foreign domestic workers, leading to an influx of MDW from the Philippines.

Key Points: 
  • From 1974, the Hong Kong government allowed residents to employ foreign domestic workers, leading to an influx of MDW from the Philippines.
  • The study placed media discourse within a broader sociological framework in order to highlight its important role, and to stress the inherent intersectionality of MDW issues.
  • The study identified three significant points in the way the MDW and their employers were discursively portrayed in the news reports.
  • While the media has to care about its readership, it should bear some responsibility for better societal understanding of MDW mistreatment and facilitate improved policies, practices and awareness.

Evidence suggests that people's subjective well-being has deteriorated especially in societies where the negative impact of the pandemic is relatively large.

Key Points: 
  • Evidence suggests that people's subjective well-being has deteriorated especially in societies where the negative impact of the pandemic is relatively large.
  • However, a recent study conducted by Lingnan University (LU) in Hong Kongreveals that Japanese older adults' life satisfaction, as compared with their younger counterparts, had substantially improved during the pandemic, indicating their resilience on average.
  • "Considering that older adults' resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic has been reported worldwide even in the super-aged society Japan, it is logical to assume a similar structure exists in Hong Kong.
  • Meanwhile, there is also a possibility that Hong Kong suffers a relatively larger extent of 'resilience divide' among older adults given the existing socio-economic inequality," he said.
