Policy Address︱Li Huiqiong urges the resumption of population policy planning and proposes a "0+0" timetable

Chief Executive Li Jiachao will deliver his first "Policy Address" on the 19th of this month, and he is expected to focus on housing, land and talent policies.

DAB Chairman Li Hui-king said on the RTHK program this morning (5th) that Hong Kong needs to re-plan its population policy, and hopes that the report can clearly mention the timetable for relaxing quarantine to "0+0".

Li Huiqiong pointed out that the overall labor force in Hong Kong is very tight, mainly due to the flow of talents and the low birth rate, and agrees to actively "snatch talents" and formulate relevant policies, because many countries and cities such as Singapore, the United Kingdom and Australia have used many methods" rob talent".

She pointed out that Hong Kong needs to have short-term and medium-term planning, pay attention to population policy, and also need to focus on statistics and information to better grasp it, and to further improve childcare services and release the female labor force.

Li Huiqiong mentioned that for international students in Hong Kong, their visas can be extended to encourage them to find jobs in Hong Kong; as for talents who come to Hong Kong, they can consider enrolling their children in different types of schools, including public schools.

She also believes that the tax rate in Hong Kong is low, and the salaries tax rate itself is quite attractive. If they work in Hong Kong for a certain period of time, they can consider adjusting the relevant home purchase measures.

In addition, Li Huiqiong believes that the current data shows that the Hong Kong society has conditions for further return to normal, and hopes to promote the relaxation of quarantine to "0+0" as soon as possible without affecting the progress of customs clearance with the mainland and reverse isolation.

She said, "I hope that the speeches of the policy address will let everyone know that '0+0' can be achieved. It is good to have a timetable."

Xie Weiquan's talent list is more "posted"

Xie Weiquan, a member of the Legislative Council for Architecture, Surveying, Urban Planning and Landscape Architecture, pointed out that talent policies need to be considered as a whole, including how to retain local talents, strengthen training, whether university places can meet market needs and policies, etc. "The talent list is adjusted for the shortage of talents in different industries. For example, it does not necessarily focus on top talents, and some industries also have a shortage of talents in the middle or professional grades.

As for the measures to attract talents, Xie Weiquan believes that it depends on the number of people covered and the breadth, etc. The most important thing is that any tax incentives are not abused.

Regarding those who propose to adjust the stamp duty, he believes that there should be restrictions, such as no resale within a specified period, etc. Professionals who come to Hong Kong may not necessarily buy properties, so they can consider providing relevant subsidies for housing.
