Homeownership Hong Kong Housing Policy
香港樓市及政府房屋政策備受社會關注。本調查以電話隨機抽樣的方式，成功在2009年訪問了1,011名18歲或以上的香港市民，瞭解市民對置業及對政府在房屋方面的角色及責任的看法，並且分析置業對滿意子女學業/事業、擔心養老保障，以及整體生活滿意度的影響。調查發現，香港市民大多認同置業帶來長遠利益、肯定政府為低下階層解決居住問題的責任、支持政府加強監管地產商。調查亦發現，在控制個人社經背景的影響後，居住環境對滿意子女學業/事業、擔心養老保障，以及整體生活滿意度都有顯著影響；自置物業對居住環境、滿意子女學業/事業，以及擔心養老保障均沒有顯著影響，但對整體生活滿意度則有顯著影響。
This study investigates Hong Kong people’s perceptions of homeownership and their evaluation of the Hong Kong government’s housing policy, as determined by a random telephone survey of 1,011 people aged 18 or above conducted in 2009. This study also explores the relationship between homeownership and satisfaction with children’s study/career development, worry about retirement security, and overall life satisfaction. It was found that most Hong Kong people agree that homeownership confers long-term benefits, feel that the government has the responsibility to help lower-class people with their housing, and support government efforts to tighten regulations on property developers. Controlling for socio-economic background, the study also found that people’s living environment has a significant impact on their satisfaction with children’s study/career development, worry about retirement security, and overall life satisfaction. It was also found that homeownership has no significant influence on living environment, satisfaction with children’s study/career development, and worry about retirement security, but has a significant influence on overall life satisfaction.
