inequality, which layouts the key facts and conceptual issues surrounding
income inequality in Hong Kong. His major publication in this area is the
research monograph�XWidening Income Distribution in Post-Handover Hong Kong
(Routledge, 2013). The research uses Census dataset from the period 1981-2011

composition shifts, expansion of tertiary education, public housing program,
and the arrival of recent immigrants on income distribution.
