~ Research analyzed the data from the questionnaire collected. For the aspect of channels of socialization, schooling as defined as student’s civic participation at school has positive influence on all six aspects of expected and actual political participation, being most influential in participation in protest activities (Standardized Beta coefficient = 0.15, p<0.001). Traditional mass media has negative effects on three areas of expected and actual political participation, most notably on expected institutional political participation (Standardized Beta coefficient = -0.13 and p<0.001). Online media has positive influence on four dimensions of expected and actual political participation, most significant in participation in internet activism (Standardized Beta coefficient = 0.11 and p<0.001). Peer influence has positive effects on five areas while parental influence has positive effects on three areas of expected and actual political participation. In focus groups, majority of participants indicated that peer influence on value orientation was minimal and positive influence from parents was noted in families where parents and children could exchange their opinions at home.

~ For the aspect of impacts of Liberal Studies on Civic and Political Engagement, the survey revealed that students’ interest in Liberal Studies had a positive effect (Standardized Beta coefficient = 0.05) only on students’ expected institutional participation (p<0.05).

~ Upon the views towards social mobility, 63.5% of the respondents in the survey were pessimistic about job opportunities in the future and 62.4% were pessimistic about further studies in the future. No direct evidence was found to support the linkage between active political participation among young people and perceived blocked social mobility.

~ Upon the views towards HKSAR government, 71.9% of students in the quantitative survey agreed or strongly agreed that they have great respect for the Hong Kong SAR, 41.7% of them agreed or strongly agreed that the political system in HKSAR works well and 24.6% were satisfied or strongly satisfied with the political development in Hong Kong. The level of trust in the Chief Executive was the lowest among all the civic institutions in Hong Kong, with 17.3% of the respondents having ‘trust’ or ‘completely trust’.

~ Upon the views towards China, questionnaire indicated that 45.2% of the students agreed or strongly agreed that they are proud of what China has achieved, 51.8% of the post-90s agreed or strongly agreed that they have great interest in the Chinese culture while 18.8% of the respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the political system in China works well. In the in-depth interviews, the informants were more critical of China with in-depth knowledge of China.

~ Foster Active and Participatory Citizenship: To give young people more say in important government decisions by incorporating youth’s voice in relevant institution through the establishment of more effective channels of consultation. In parallel with the further enhancement of young people’s civic awareness and knowledge by allowing schools to provide more opportunities for civic participation and foster an atmosphere of open but balanced discussions on social and political issues at the classroom level. Despite the overly broad curriculum, Liberal Studies could be an important platform and strengthening of career and life education could take a part in fostering such citizenship.

~ Promotion of Participation through institutional channels: Further policies and educational programmes (such as teaching and learning of Liberal Studies and Chinese History) should explore better ways to build up a more positive impression of government and its policies, to foster more balanced and open form of individual identity towards community and the nation, and a higher level of trust in civic institutions among the younger generation.
