Industrialization and Family Structure in Hong Kong

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between industrialization and the family structure in Hong Kong. Data are collected from several related studies as well as a representative sample study of2,270 families, and analyzed and interpreted from a historical-functional perspective. The findings show that, as the development of industrialization moves along a pre-early-advanced continuum, there have been corresponding changes in the structure of the family which evolves from a temporary, broken extended form, to a settled stem one, and currently toward a small nuclear one. Correlational analyses have also confirmed the associations of such industrialization correlates as native township, education, occupation and religion, with the family
