名人/編輯推薦
—Jonathan BRADSHAW (Emeritus Professor of Social Policy, University of York)
This book provides an important critical perspective on Hong Kong society and on the social problems that have not been eradicated by decades of free markets and economic growth. The authors show how policy deficiencies in the areas of social security, taxation, health, housing and education have prevented the fruits of economic growth from being widely shared and have contributed to high and entrenched levels of poverty. Together, the papers present evidence and arguments that make a compelling case for why reform is urgently needed to bring genuine prosperity to Hong Kong and all of its people.
—Peter SAUNDERS (Research Professor in Social Policy, University of New South Wales)
Poverty in a Rich Society makes a timely and valuable contribution to understanding the different facets of poverty and social exclusion in Hong Kong.
—M. RAMESH (Professor of Social Policy, National University of Singapore)
Readers in the related fields will find comprehensive perspectives on the poverty study including subjective and objective measurements, health and education issues, social exclusion and social capital. The importance of public programs and policies have also been addressed to strengthen social justice and reduce income disparity. This is an insightful book for foreign researchers and students to understand the phenomenon of poverty in Hong Kong.
—Kate Yeong-Tysr WANG (Professor of Social Work, National Taiwan Normal University)
How actively and effectively have the Hong Kong society and government responded to the widening income gap and the more serious poverty issues in the city? The Government spending on social security, welfare, health care and education programs has increased significantly and the government agency “Commission on Poverty” has been operated to solve the problems. Are these measures effective? Or are there any inadequacies? The book answers these questions and on this basis provides suggestions. The book is a must read for all those who are concerned about the people of Hong Kong.
—Hoi Wai CHUA (Chief Executive, the Hong Kong Council of Social Service)
