Hong Kong Family Happiness Score improves for the first time in 3 years

Family happiness in Hong Kong has improved for the first time in three years, but has not recovered on a pre-Pandemic level. Experts called for the government to develop family policy using Singapore as a model.

Families with children between the ages of six and 12 were least happy, which, according to experts in mental health, could be attributed to stressful environments in primary schools.

“There can be two reasons for the climb of the index. First first [environment]“Daniel Shek Tan-Lei, deputy vice president of Polytechnic University, said.

Shek, a former chairman of the family council of home and youth matters, noticed the need for a better family policy in Hong Kong and mentioned Singapore as a model.

“In Singapore you have the Ministry of Social and Family Development. I think you are smart because you know that society, when families do not do well, will not do well,” he said.

The research carried out in March of this year, which was carried out and carried out annually, collected 1,117 questionnaires with 76 questions about online and personal interviews. About 66.8 percent of the respondents reported an assessment of seven and higher in the total value of the family, compared to 55.7 percent in the previous year.
