This thesis examines the relationship between immigration and perceived job opportunities with Hong Kong chosen as a place of study. Drawing on economic theories rooted in regional science as well as sociological perspectives, this research explores the relationship between wage differentials, labor market conditions, and migration decisions. Data challenges are addressed by using proxies and indirect measures to overcome limitations in official statistics. This research hopes to aid development in Hong Kong going ahead into the future, offering insights into labor market adjustments as well as simultaneously informing policy measures to enhance economic resilience and attract migrants to support Hong Kong’s economic and social stability given recent headwinds against the city.
