The School of Public
Health of the University of Hong Kong is pleased to present the
"Symposium and Exhibition for FAMILY: A Jockey Club Initiative for a
Harmonious Society - Multidisciplinary Collaboration To Promote Family
Health, Happiness and Harmony - sharing of experiences and findings",
愛+人：賽馬會和諧社會計劃, with The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust as
co-organizer.
With the over-emphasis
on economic developments, cost saving, market competition and
productivity in recent years by governments, employers and the public,
there have been increasing working hours, decreasing leisure time,
worsening work stress and growing complaints and dissatisfaction. The
deterioration in the quality of family life is more than the sum of the
deterioration of individual quality of life.
FAMILY: A
Jockey Club Initiative for a Harmonious Society is a citywide
project launched by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust with $250
million funding, in collaboration with the School of Public Health of
The University of Hong Kong. The project aims to identify the source of
family problems, devise suitable preventive measures and promote family
Health, Happiness and Harmony through a territory-wide household
survey, intervention projects and public education.
