CHAPTER ONE:
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In 1990, there were 27,976 new arrivals to Hong Kong from Mainland China. Since
July of 1995, the daily quota of intake was raised to 150 and the total number of new arrivals from China then exceeded fifty thousands each year. It is estimated that there are more than 400,000 PRC residents, mainly females and children who will be given the right of abode in Hong Kong from Mainland China after 1997. In the year 2000, married women aged 20-39 contributed more than 40% (over 20,000) of the immigrants from China (HKSAR-Home Affairs Department, 2001). With such a large and rapid influx of new arrivals, great impact will certainly be exerted to the society as well as to the immigrants themselves.
A number of questions are worth to study as related to the new arrival women’s adjustment and integration to the living in Hong Kong. What are the experiences of the new arrival women in the migration process? Are there any discrepancy between their expectation and the actual living in Hong Kong? Are they adjusted to the life in
Hong Kong? Are the mental health conditions, level of stress, life satisfaction, etc. of the new arrival women affected by the integration process and transition during the
1
resettlement process? A number of studies revealed that these new arrivals are facing serious difficulties in adjusting to lives in Hong Kong (Chow, 1996; Caritas
HK-TWCC, 1996; Ho, Lee & Ko, 1997; Hong Kong Council of Social Services,
1996; International Social Service, 1997).
Concerning difficulties in living, a significant portion of the female immigrants from
