Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to study future development of social welfare services by charitable organizations in Asia. In particular, this report focuses on Hong Kong where economic activities are robust and charitable activities have been closely affiliated with China and Taiwan in recent times.
Through field survey on the activities of HKCSS (Hong Kong Council of Social Service) and literature research, the history of charitable activities and the relationship between the government and charitable organizations were analyzed based on a variety of already published documents on charitable organizations in Hong Kong and China.The result shows that, in Hong Kong, there was a historical circumstance where mutual support activities among immigrants from mainland China had been actively conducted since British rule, which provided the basis for present charitable organizations in Hong Kong society.
