Against the background of aging population and an increasing expectation about the long term and end of life care, care planning and related dying choice has lately become an important topic of concern in Hong Kong recently. In view of the concern over respect to patient self-determination and improvement of their quality of life at the terminal stage, the government will implement advance directives in this year and continuously promote dying in place to increase the end of life care and dying choice.

Over the past few years, Hong Kong's demographics have undergone significant shifts. Following a period of outward migration and workforce depletion, the subsequent influx of new talents has not only replenished the labour pool but also reshaped the city’s population structure. The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) has long been attentive to population policy, seeking to gain deep insights into these critical changes and their far-reaching implications. To this end, we have interviewed newly arrived talents, business leaders, scholars, and representatives from social service organizations. Their perspectives on existing talent initiatives, Hong Kong’s unique advantages, and the integration of talent into daily life will be featured in the March issue of the HKCSS Policy Bulletin. In addition to this publication, the Council will host a series of three seminars and workshops titled “Talent Arrival: The Impact and Beyond”. We have invited stakeholders from various sectors to explore the impact ...
