Think tank Our Hong Kong Foundation also says authorities should review scheme based on long-term demands of local workforce
Former Hong Kong leader Leung Chun-ying has urged the government to disclose data regarding its talent policy to address public concerns over the short- and long-term impact on the city’s capacity, warning the number of professionals opting to renew their visas could be as high as 60,000.
A think tank also said on Monday that authorities should review the talent schemes and ensure they aligned with long-term local workforce demands, following Leung’s appeal a day earlier.
Leung said it was natural for Hongkongers to raise concerns about how the talent policy would affect the city in the short, medium and long run in terms of demand, supply and allocation of education, housing and medical resources.
