MWYO Information

MWYO is an independent think tank that focuses on youth issues in Hong Kong. Our work spans across research studies and surveys, advocacy and education, and training and capacity building. We actively engage and work with everyone who has a stake in the positive outcome of young people’s development: youths, parents, headmasters, teachers, social workers, employers, civil society leaders, governments, and political parties. Our mission is to be a thought leader in all aspects of youth development in Hong Kong. MWYO’s past research covers a wide range of topics in youth development, such as sex and relationship education, financial literacy and independence, comparative and historical studies of youth policies and youth development strategies, and a Hong Kong-specific Youth Development Index. Its findings have been presented or submitted to the Government, secondary schools, tertiary institutions, libraries, charities, non-governmental organisations, youth associations, and other stakeholders. Going forward, MWYO will continue to generate knowledge and discourse to support Hong Kong’s youth development, in ways that are innovative and authentic to our young people.
