Evidence for Youth, Insights for Tomorrow
If we want to understand what Hong Kong’s young people need, where their concerns lie and how they see the city’s future, we need evidence.
In a city and world facing rapid social changes, shifting aspirations and new uncertainties, rigorous research is not a luxury; it is the foundation for meaningful action. Since its establishment in 1993, the HKFYG Youth Research Centre (YRC) has been committed to building that foundation through data-driven research and empirical analysis.
For more than three decades, the YRC has tracked youth trends, perspectives and development in Hong Kong with consistency and depth. With more than 400 research reports completed, it has become a trusted source of insight into the pulse of the city’s younger generation, helping shape a clearer understanding of how young people live, think and move through an evolving society.
That mission was extended in 2015 with the launch of Youth I.D.E.A.S. (short for Ideals, Dedication, Engagement, Aspirations and Service). Bringing together young local professionals and tertiary students, the youth think tank has published more than 80 reports on youth development, the economy, governance, education and livelihood. Just as importantly, it has created a platform for youth voices to enter broader conversations across government, business, academia and the community.
