Why is it important?
The study revealed that most of the respondents stayed in Hong Kong legally but worked illegally because of the fact that although they could extend their stay permits, they were not grated work permits. This exclusive circumstance places them in a number of difficult situations.
Perspectives
In attempting to adapt to Hong Kong society, the migrants embrace a number of interesting and unique strategies to surmount challenges. This adds a lot to the migration scholarship.
