Description

Project co-developed with the University Library.

The content of this webpage is derived from a research project titled "Strangers/Helpers at Home: Hong Kong Families with Foreign Domestic Workers" conducted by Hong Kong Baptist University. This research project is funded by the Early Career Scheme of the Research Grants Council, led by Dr. Adam Ka-Lok Cheung, Associate Professor of the Department of Sociology at Hong Kong Baptist University. This webpage summarizes and shares the findings of this research project, with the digitization project supported by the Hong Kong Baptist University Library. We have made the research summary and some of the original data available to the public, aiming to help the general public, social welfare organizations, scholars, and the media better understand the situation faced by Hong Kong families employing foreign domestic helpers and to serve as a reference for policy advocacy.
