ABSTRACT: In order to deal with the brain drain issue brought about by the housing
problem, the Shenzhen government has implemented an affordable rental housing
policy to try to overcome the issue. So far, this policy seems to have eased
the brain drain issue to a certain degree. This study uses the Smith Model as
an analyzing tool to examine policy performance. According to the Smith Model,
idealized policy, implementing organisation, target group, and environmental
factors four perspectives are used to analyse and examine whether the policy
has successfully overcome the social issue. Through using the Smith Model, this
study finds out that the existing Shenzhen affordable housing policy has
basically dealt with the brain drain issue in Shenzhen, while there are still some gaps
in the policy.
