Theme
Changes in Hong Kong Industries and People's Livelihood
Hong Kong has seen many transformations in the way its inhabitants have earned a living over the years. The mid-19th century saw the establishment of shipyards, sugar refineries, cable manufacturers, dyeing and weaving factories, cement and tile factories, flour mills, as well as preserves and soy sauce factories. Trading companies, banks and hotels thus sprang up to help service their needs. By the 1940s and 1950s, Hong Kong had developed into a city of light industries with flourishing textile and garment, plastics, wig, electronics and timepiece sectors. Students entering this competition are asked to select a research topic from a socioeconomic, political or geographical perspective and then explore in their project historical or new industries that declined or emerged as a result of social developments, with a focus on the context for their rise or fall, their current status and the influence they have exerted on society and people's livelihood.
