根据三项调查，研究居住在香港新界六个偏远地区(屯门、元朗、天水围、上水、粉岭和大埔)的青年、妇女和长者的生活状况，报告这三类人的贫穷和社会排斥情况。青年、妇女和老年人的生活质量受到就业机会有限、就业旅行费用高以及社区贫困的不利影响。然而，这三个群体对其问题原因的看法是不同的，这是因为他们拥有不同的社会资本纽带和桥梁，以及对他们受到的社会排斥和歧视的不同看法。
Based on three surveys carried out for studying living conditions of youth, women and elderly living in six remote areas (Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, Tin Shui Wai, Sheung Shui, Fan Ling and Tai Po) in the New Territories of Hong Kong, this paper reports the poverty and social exclusion of these three groups of people. The quality of life of youth, women and elderly is adversely affected by limited job opportunities, high cost of travel for employment, and poor neighbourhoods in the community. However, perceptions of reasons for their problems are different for the three groups, due to differences in bonding and bridging social capital they have, as well as the differences in perceptions on social exclusion and discrimination directed upon them.
