Abstract
This chapter reports on the full range of the Hong Kong public’s perceptions of mainland GBA cities by assessing the institutional concerns and motivations that are related to the differences in institutional arrangements between the mainland and Hong Kong. It also considers the individual concerns that are common in all migratory activities. We found the top three institutional concerns were food security, public security, and transportation, while the top three institutional motivations were entertainment, housing conditions, and employment opportunities. For individual concerns, we found the younger group was more concerned about migrating to mainland GBA cities than the older group; no difference was found between participants with higher and lower educational levels; individual concerns between professional and non-professional participants cannot be compared as the data did not support the measurement invariance.
