The director of the Hong Kong Labor and Welfare Bureau Sun Yuxi said that the crown disease epidemic is the main cause of the laborers in Hong Kong in the past two years.
According to the Hong Kong Sing Tao Daily, the New Democratic Party Legislative Councilor Rong Haien asked the Legislative Council to ask about the loss of the labor population in Hong Kong.About 140,000 people asked the details of these lost labor population, and how the Hong Kong government filled the corresponding job vacancies.
Sun Yuzheng, director of the Hong Kong Labor and Welfare Bureau, responded that during the second quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2022, there were about 140,000 labor population lost, of which 25 to 39 years old had the highest loss.It involves about 78,000 people; the classification of occupational groups accounts for the most "auxiliary professionals", with about 71,000 people.The Hong Kong Government did not conduct tracking investigations on people from Hong Kong, so they could not grasp their income before leaving Hong Kong and the reason for leaving Hong Kong.
Sun Yuzheng explained that one of the important reasons for Hong Kong's labor population in the past two years is that under the influence of the global epidemic, the population has been greatly reduced.He expected that with the control of the Hong Kong epidemic, the entry quarantine measures were relaxed, and the number of people's number was rebounded. In the future, the tight labor population should be soothable.
He also said that the policy report proposed a series of measures to recruit talents, including the "High -end Talent Pass Plan"; relaxing the "general employment policy", "entering the mainland talent plan", and canceling the "excellent talent entry planning plan""Two years of annual quota and other measures, the government's goal was from 2023 to 2025. It is believed that this will greatly relieve Hong Kong's manpower shortage every year.
