Hong Kong HK: International Migrant Stock: % of Population data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Hong Kong SAR – Table HK.World Bank.WDI: Population and Urbanization Statistics. International migrant stock is the number of people born in a country other than that in which they live. It also includes refugees. The data used to estimate the international migrant stock at a particular time are obtained mainly from population censuses. The estimates are derived from the data on foreign-born population--people who have residence in one country but were born in another country. When data on the foreign-born population are not available, data on foreign population--that is, people who are citizens of a country other than the country in which they reside--are used as estimates. After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 people living in one of the newly independent countries who were born in another were classified as international migrants. Estimates of migrant stock in the newly independent states from 1990 on are based on the 1989 census of the Soviet Union. For countries with information on the international migrant stock for at least two points in time, interpolation or extrapolation was used to estimate the international migrant stock on July 1 of the reference years. For countries with only one observation, estimates for the reference years were derived using rates of change in the migrant stock in the years preceding or following the single observation available. A model was used to estimate migrants for countries that had no data.; ; United Nations Population Division, Trends in Total Migrant Stock: 2008 Revision.; Weighted average;

The data for this study are drawn from the data collected for a larger project entitled “A Systematic Study of Labour Dynamics in the Greater Bay Area” funded by Our Hong Kong Foundation.

This specific data set looks at the labour migration of highly educated Mainland Chinese in Hong Kong with the data collected between fall of 2019 to spring of 2020 with 3,012 respondents. My research draws from this data set and examine the social integration of these migrants, in particular i) whether discrimination at work and in daily life has different influences in their friendship making patterns with locals and ii) the impact of mental health on staying intention when they perceive discrimination. This data set serves as a foundation to understanding the highly educated Mainland Chinese migrant population in Hong Kong and enriches our understanding of highly educated migration within Asia.
