Hong Kong: workfare in the world's freest economy
No full textWorkfare was introduced in many countries to suppress welfare dependency and reduce social security expenditures. However, workfare was launched in Hong Kong when there was only a relatively small social security budget and its citizens still strongly adhered to the ideologies of self-reliance. It was found that workfare has performed several functions in Hong Kong. Firstly, it has forced unemployed claimants to give up benefits so that Hong Kong's social security expenditures can be saved. Secondly, workfare had combined with Hong Kong's semi-democratic polity so that extremely stigmatising welfare measures were implemented. Thirdly, it has pushed poor citizens to the labour market without having any protection over wages and working hours. Thus, the combination of workfare and a semi-democratic polity has successfully suppressed Hong Kong's welfare demands and strengthened its self-help spirit. As a result, Hong Kong's minimal social security scheme and its low tax policy have been maintained
香港回歸中國之挑戰
No full textThe seven essays in this volume address some of the critical issues underlining the process of Hong Kong's reintegration with China. In reviewing the drastic changes in Hong Kong since the mid-1980s, the authors provide multi-disciplinary perspectives to articulate the major institutions and forces that shape the interaction between Beijing and Hong Kong and help to define the challenges ahead. Ming Chan delineates the key dimensions of the China factor in Hong Kong's transition. John Burns offers a comparative analysis of the PRC and Hong Kong civil service systems. Alvin So suggests the root causes of Hong Kong's recent political crisis as a case of 'contested democracy.' Alison Conner focuses on the controversies in the legal system and the rule of law in the transition. Chin-Chuan Lee assesses the impact of regime change on press freedom and the media. Janet Salaff, Siu-lun Wong and Mei-ling Fung use interview surveys to construct profiles on emigration decision as manifestation of public confidence.
