摘要

摘要在本研究报告中，我们通过对香港立法会议员在1998年至2016年全体会议上提出的问题进行内容分析，研究了立法会议员的年龄对其在香港代表行为的影响。我们探讨年轻的立法者是否比年长的立法者更有可能代表年轻人的利益。我们的研究结果表明，立法者的年龄并没有显著影响他们的代表行为。我们提出了这个零发现的三个因素。第一个问题是香港年轻人的投票率相对较低。二是与专制立法机构立法者的职业激励有关。最后一个因素是香港年轻立法会议员的政治倾向。

Does the age of legislators matter to their representational behavior? Evidence from Hong Kong

Abstract In this research note we examine the impacts of legislators' age on their representational behavior in Hong Kong by conducting content analyses of the questions raised by members of the Hong Kong legislature (LegCo) at the plenary meetings from 1998 to 2016. We explore whether young legislators were more likely than older legislators to represent youth interests. Our results show that legislators' age did not significantly affect their representational behavior. We propose three factors of this null finding. The first concerns the relatively low voter turnout among young people in Hong Kong. The second is related to the career incentives of legislators in authoritarian legislature. The last factor is the political affiliation of young legislators in Hong Kong.
