Abstract: ASTRACT The issue of minimum wage is complicated and carries a far-reaching impact on the future socio-economic development of Hong Kong. It involves a plethora of questions which need to be answered. For example, what is considered to be a reasonable minimum wage? Should it be across the board or targeted at individual trades or sectors? Is legislation absolutely essential? Should a pilot scheme be launched in the first place and mechanism for setting and adjusting the minimum wage? How to monitor that mechanism? Will a minimum wage result in a surge in labour costs to the level beyond the affordability of employers so that our business environment and economy will be seriously eroded? Will a minimum wage really benefit elementary workers who need such protection most or will they be priced out of the labour market as employers would prefer people of better skills and knowledge when the wage has to be at or above a certain level? In other words, will the policy be really effective and will not do more harm than good? When Hong Kong is moving towards a knowledge-based society and when labour -intensive jobs or jobs requiring just basic skills are fast diminishing, will a statutory minimum wage provide greater protection to workers in the lower strata or will we be taking away what remains of the precious job opportunities from them? These are all fundamental - 5/78 - questions that need to be tackled. However, it is hard to answer and consolidate the above questions, as the policy arena is varying in different circumstances. In other way round, I try to illustrate the views and stands of different politicians in Hong Kong considering the effectiveness of Minimum Wages Legislation and see how the Administration react in relation to the views of different politicians. As a result, we will see from the paper that the Administration is not going to take side, but, as a result, draws a line in between the politicians trying to resort the community conflict and balance the public interest in the sake of Hong Kong's situation. - 6/78 - DOI: 10.5353/th_b3828359 Subjects: Minimum wage - Law and legislation - China - Hong Kong Minimum wage - Political aspects - China - Hong Kong
Book Synopsis China's New United Front Work in Hong Kong by : Sonny Shiu-Hing Lo
Download or read book China's New United Front Work in Hong Kong written by Sonny Shiu-Hing Lo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the dynamics of China’s new united front work in Hong Kong. Mainland Chinese penetrative politics can be seen in the activities of local pro-Beijing political parties, clans and neighborhood associations, labor unions, women and media organizations, district federations, and some religious groups. However, united front work in the educational and youth sectors of civil society has encountered strong resistance because many Hong Kong people are post-materialistic and uphold their core values of human rights, the rule of law and transparency. China’s new united front work in Hong Kong has been influenced by its domestic turn toward “hard” authoritarianism, making Beijing see Hong Kong’s democratic activists and radicals as political enemies. Hong Kong’s “one country, two systems” is drifting toward “one country, two mixed systems” with some degree of convergence. Yet, Taiwan and some foreign countries have seen China’s united front work as politically destabilizing and penetrative. This book will be of use to scholars, journalists, and observers in other countries seeking to reckon with Chinese influence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Book Synopsis Social Movements and Political Reform in Hong Kong by : Linda Butenhoff
Download or read book Social Movements and Political Reform in Hong Kong written by Linda Butenhoff and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1999-09-30 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hong Kong society is often regarded as politically apathetic. Yet throughout its history, Hong Kong experienced periodic waves of social movement activity. In part, the perception of an apathetic populace stems from the colonial government's laissez-faire policies, the society's concentration on economic development, the maintenance of traditional Chinese culture, and a consensus that Hong Kong would revert to Chinese sovereignty. Since Hong Kong was a colony, instead of evolving into a democratic government, Great Britain instituted a system of elite consultation and absorption of the masses' political problems through indirect participation. Butenhoff addresses the question of why social movements emerged and how they influenced the process of political reform. Her study presents and analyzes the activities of social movements so that a clearer picture of civil society and political change from below emerges. Butenhoff integrates the literature on Hong Kong, civil society, and social movements into an integrated approach to analyze social movement influence in Hong Kong politics. Her three case studies: the independent labor movement, the nontraditional Christian movement, and the democracy movement are analyzed using a social movement framework. She evaluates the forces that drive and sustain social movements and argues that while the Chinese and British governments debated the fate of democratic Hong Kong, the Hong Kong people have been overlooked throughout the process. And, as a result, Hong Kong social movements play an essential role in raising the awareness of the people and bringing to light the voices from below.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hong Kong is a meeting place for migrant domestic workers, traders, refugees, asylum seekers, tourists, businessmen, and local residents. In Born Out of Place, Nicole Constable looks at the experiences of Indonesian and Filipina women in this Asian world city. Giving voice to the stories of these migrant mothers, their South Asian, African, Chinese, and Western expatriate partners, and their Hong Kong–born babies, Constable raises a serious question: Do we regard migrants as people, or just as temporary workers?

Book Synopsis Colours of Money, Shades of Pride by : Fred Y.L. Chiu
Download or read book Colours of Money, Shades of Pride written by Fred Y.L. Chiu and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2003-06-01 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 1986, a Japanese watch factory in Hong Kong tried to fire 36 of its women workers. This provoked an unprecedented sit-in by 300 of the women employed at the plant. The sit-in lasted for 13 days and accounted for over half the days lost to labour unrest that year. At the time Fred Chiu, an ex-prisoner of consciousness in Taiwan, was studying industrial conflicts in Hong Kong. Although an anthropologist, he became deeply and personally involved in the strike. In this account of those intense days, he 'combines the art of the story-teller with the wizardry of the sophisticated social theorist' to report the events and to interpret them in a style characterized by clarity, vigour and honesty.
Book Synopsis Social Development and Political Change in Hong Kong by : Zhaojia Liu
Download or read book Social Development and Political Change in Hong Kong written by Zhaojia Liu and published by Chinese University of Hong Kong Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British rule in Hong Kong ended in 1997 and it is now both timely and intellectually inspiring to look back at the last twenty-five years of the British rule, when Hong Kong was transformed from a low-cost manufacturing base into one of Asia's most vibrant international service centers. The underlying social and political tensions of the society during this period of change constitute the focus of this present monograph, which is a collection of articles written by well known scholars and academics in Hong Kong. What have been the moral values and motivating forces of the Chinese population during this period of economic growth? How was the population organized and how were political parties formed to air their old grievances and newly found legitimate claims? How did the Hong Kong British government cope with such social forces and conflicts both in the urban areas and among the rural communities? What have been the identities and allegiances of the local populace in view of the Chinese recovery of the city? The authors, who witnessed these events and some even participated in the process, try to answer these and many other questions with convincing eloquence and insights with the help of decade-long surveys and statistical analyses.

This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new era in the democracy movement in Hong Kong began on July 1, 2003, when half a million people protested on the streets, and has included the 2012 anti-National Education campaign, the 2014 Occupy Central Movement and the rapid rise of localist groups. The new democracy movement in Hong Kong is characterized by a diversity of interest groups calling for political reform, policy change and the territory’s autonomy vis-à-vis the central government in Beijing. These groups include lawyers, teachers, students, nativists, workers, Catholics, human rights activists, environmental activists and intellectuals. This book marks a new attempt at understanding the activities of the various interest groups in their quest for democratic participation, governmental responsiveness and openness. They are utilizing new and unconventional modes of political participation, such as the Occupy Central Movement, cross-class mobilization, the use of technology and cyberspace, and human rights activities with cross-boundary implications for China’s political development. The book will be useful to students, researchers, officials, diplomats and journalists interested in the political change of Hong Kong and the implications for mainland China.
