Supporting data for "Factors Influencing the Social Integration of Highly Educated Mainland Chinese Migrants in Hong Kong"

The data for this study are drawn from the data collected for a larger project entitled “A Systematic Study of Labour Dynamics in the Greater Bay Area” funded by Our Hong Kong Foundation. 

This specific data set looks at the labour migration of highly educated Mainland Chinese in Hong Kong with the data collected between fall of 2019 to spring of 2020 with 3,012 respondents. My research draws from this data set and examine the social integration of these migrants, in particular i) whether discrimination at work and in daily life has different influences in their friendship making patterns with locals and ii) the impact of mental health on staying intention when they perceive discrimination. This data set serves as a foundation to understanding the highly educated Mainland Chinese migrant population in Hong Kong and enriches our understanding of highly educated migration within Asia. 

Stata 14.0 was used to analyse the data.

本研究数据源自于由香港社会服务联会资助的宏大项目“大湾区劳动动态系统性研究”所收集的数据。本特定数据集聚焦于分析在香港的具有高学历的内地劳动力的迁移情况，数据收集时间跨度为2019年秋季至2020年春季，共包含3,012名受访者。本研究基于此数据集，探讨了这些移民的社会融入问题，特别是：i）在工作与日常生活中遭受的歧视对其与本地居民建立友谊模式的不同影响；ii）当他们感知到歧视时，心理健康对其留下意愿的影响。该数据集为理解香港的高学历内地移民群体提供了基础，并丰富了我们对亚洲高学历移民现象的认识。数据分析过程中，采用了Stata 14.0软件。
