   The main difficulty of this research is the problem of accuracy. Because of the lack of time and money, the data from the interviews are only based on 20 interviews by the poor from 2 places. As there are so many poor in Hong Kong, 20 cases may inaccuracy and it may not exactly show the true of fact.

 

   Although there are literature reviews from the government or organizations to support the analysis and lower the inaccuracy, and the interviewees of each interview were selected randomly in order to become fair objective and trusty, errors may also more or less exist in the results, and the data collected from the interviews and literature readings had already made good use to make the data analysis.

 

 

Thanks!!

I think the main problem is sample size, not "accuracy". Your sample size is too small.  And I don't know if random sampling is the best method in such a case.
