Birth tourism in Hong Kong

The term "anchor babies in Hong Kong" (Chinese: 雙非嬰兒) refers to children born in Hong Kong whose parents (usually from Mainland China) are not Hong Kong permanent residents. Since 2003, an Individual Visit Scheme targeted to boost the economy of Hong Kong has begun. It provides an opportunity for pregnant women visiting from Mainland China to give birth to their infants in Hong Kong. This entitles their children to the right of abode in Hong Kong as well as the opportunity to benefit from Hong Kong's education system.
