Policy Address

Women

88.         As quite a number of women homemakers are prepared to rejoin the labour market, and many trades and sectors have a tight manpower situation, helping women to achieve a balance between family and work is one issue being addressed by the public engagement exercise on population policy.  The LWB and the Women’s Commission are conducting a survey to find out the reasons why Hong Kong women leave the labour market and the factors that attract them to take up employment again.  The findings will serve as reference for policy formulation.

89.         To improve after-school care services provided by NGOs for children aged 6 to 12, the SWD will, from 2014-15, allocate additional resources to extend the service hours on weekday evenings, weekends and school holidays in some after-school care centres and provide additional fee-waiving and fee-reduction quotas.  The SWD will also extend the Neighbourhood Support Child Care Project by lifting the age limit of service beneficiaries from six to nine, and providing additional places for the home-based child care service under the project.
