Abstract

This paper examines the life satisfaction of Chinese mainland migrants compared to that of Hong Kong natives, using microdata from the 2011 Hong Kong Panel Study of Social Dynamics (HKPSSD) and aggregated neighborhood data from the 2011 Hong Kong Census. We find that Chinese mainland migrants have significantly lower life satisfaction than Hong Kong natives. As neighborhood socioeconomic status rises, life satisfaction increases, yet the positive effect is smaller for Chinese mainland migrants than for Hong Kong natives. Relative household income in the neighborhood is also positively related to life satisfaction, but the effect is larger for Chinese mainland migrants, suggesting that relative status affects life satisfaction much more for Chinese mainland migrants than for Hong Kong natives.

香港内地移民的社区社会经济地位、家庭相对收入与生活满意度

本文利用2011年香港社会动态研究小组(HKPSSD)的微观数据和2011年香港人口普查的汇总数据，比较了中国内地移民与香港本地人的生活满意度。我们发现中国大陆移民的生活满意度明显低于香港本地人。随着社区社会经济地位的提高，生活满意度也会增加，但中国大陆移民的积极影响要小于香港本地人。邻里家庭相对收入也与生活满意度呈正相关，但对中国大陆移民的影响更大，表明相对地位对中国大陆移民生活满意度的影响远大于香港本地人。
