Sumario:Before the handover to China in 1997, Hong Kong's economic growth was very strong and the unemployment rate dropped to a record low of 2.2 per cent. In recent years, the widening income dispersion in Hong Kong has caught public attention.

Based on latest empirical evidence of Hong Kong, the book examines the relationship between economic restructuring and rising income disparity.
