Housing poverty, specifically the poverty situation induced by housing factors, is the core concern of this PhD thesis. In this study, a mixed-method approach was used to examine the housing poverty situation in Hong Kong. Firstly, three housing poverty lines were used to analyse census data from 1996 to 2016 to examine the housing poverty situation. It was observed that the overall housing poverty was not worsened because of the increasing number of homeowners who had paid off all their mortgage payments. However, the housing poverty situation for the residents of private rental housing was seriously aggravated. Secondly, another Hong Kong population survey revealed that the living area and indoor housing problems caused a significant impact on the non-income poverty situation, including deprivation, social exclusion, and subjective poverty. Both housing factors acted as mediating factors between income and non-income poverty. Of the three non-income poverty situations, subjective poverty was influenced most by housing factors, whilst social exclusion was the least affected. Thirdly, qualitative interviews of 20 residents living in subdivided flats showed that residents fell into poverty owing to various critical life events and because they had limited housing choice. High costs of housing, small living areas, and poor housing conditions further exacerbated their poverty. This thesis adds to the empirical description and theoretical explanation of poverty by including the housing perspective in poverty study. The findings on the significant impacts of housing factors on the non-income poverty situation prompted this study to propose progressive housing policies to alleviate the non-income poverty among Hong Kong citizens.
