ABSTRACT
The presentation and analysis of the data on the Hong Kong identity(s) will first examine cultural identification across time, to examine whether the local Hong Kong identity is strengthening across time as a reflection of the rising localism in Hong Kong. The difference between the number of men who identified as Hong Konger vs. women who identified as Hong Konger was not significant at any of the data time points; the same was found for identification by gender as Hong Kong Chinese. Women and men had parallel shifts in cultural identification across time. An analysis was also conducted on identification as Hong Konger as well as by Hong Kong Chinese by gender and age to examine whether identification was uniform across both age groups for each gender. The age and gender data were also compared with the combined data for Hong Kong Chinese. Both gender and age were also examined in relation to the expanded 2017 data set.
