The Hong Kong government is set to
overhaul(革新) its
immigration policy with the aim of making it easier for mainland and overseas
talents to live and work in the city. This is a welcome step because it will
remove what is widely seen as a major hurdle to Hong Kong’s efforts to attract
qualified immigrants to help its development.
To sustain the growth of the services
sector, which accounts for nearly 80 percent of Hong Kong’s GDP, it is
necessary to continuously expand the pool of talents in various fields. Efforts
to attract mainland and overseas talents to Hong Kong are taking on special
urgency not only because of fierce competition from other cities, particularly
Singapore, but also the rapidly aging population resulting from years of low or
negative birthrates.
Hong Kong enjoys certain distinct
advantages over many Asian cities in the competition for talents. Beyond its
vibrant economy, underlined by a free market environment, Hong Kong has a
combination of some of the most distinctive elements of Chinese and Western
cultures. Hong Kong is as exciting as many other Asian boomtowns, and yet it is
no less efficient than a typical European city with a much smaller population.
Housing costs are high, but no higher than those in other financial centers.
For international banks and multinational corporations, housing costs are a
concern only when the opportunity to make money begins to dry up. And this
situation is not happening in Hong Kong as the local economy, riding the boom
on the mainland, is rapidly expanding.
It is within this context that the
government takes the lead to revise its immigration policy, which calls for,
among other things, the establishment of a one-stop service center to process
all applications under various migrant schemes. This means that an applicant
will in future need to submit only one form for processing. Other changes to
the policy include the removing of the age restrictions and lowering of
experience requirements. Under the present scoring system used to vet
applicants, those who are older than 50 and those with less than five years of
work experience win no points in their respective categories. The details of
the proposed changes have not been announced. But according to a government
official quoted by the local press, the aim is to broaden the pool of qualified
applicants.
