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 of talent admission reforms over the past three years on the economy, employment, education, and society as a whole. We will also explore how Hong Kong can leverage this talent pool to strengthen its regional and global influence and reinforce its status as an international city. Furthermore, we will invite ...

獨居不一定孤立，而是重新定義連結。 各位： 社聯在過去一年多時間探討獨居議題，最終在今年3月下旬舉辦《解鎖：我的獨居連結故事》展覽。展覽主題、很多內容和訊息也由受訪者的分享歸納出來。 獨居是一個既多元又複雜的經歷，當中，我們留意到情緒健康和人際連結對他們生活十分重要。因此，我們首先聚焦孤獨和社交孤立。 在展覽期間，不少參加者索取年曆卡，細讀12個受訪故事。我們現把年曆卡整理成一本電子小冊（請按連結）分享給業界同工和持份者，期望日後在相關議題交流。謝謝！ 何俊傑 香港社會服務聯會總主任（政策研究及倡議） ...

Hong Kong is facing delayed marriage, low birth rates, and shrinking family sizes. As family structures and dynamics continue to evolve, the number of one- and two-person households is steadily rising, reflecting the shifting attitudes toward building family relationships in modern society. Under this trend, low-to-middle-income one- and two-person households entering middle-to-old age will face bigger challenge in areas such as health, employment, finances, and social life. Without a support network, these individuals are at risk of social isolation. Lone elder and elderly couples also face daunting challenge of end-of-life care.  In response to this, the government has introduced measures in recent years to identify high-risk elderly households and provide timely support. Compared to Hong Kong, solo living is even more prevalent in South Korea and the South Korean government introduced “Act on the Prevention and Management of Solitary Deaths” followed by a comprehensive master plan and the establishment of numerous community hubs to encourage solo dwellers to step out and engage with society. Meanwhile, the Singaporean government and its social service agencies have adopted a multi-pronged approach—including the strategic use of technology—to enhance care and companionship for the elderly. In light of these developments, the Council will host the ...
