本報告內載列的主要研究結果撮述如㆘：

(a) 所有以香港為基本工作㆞點的職業，總就業㆟數將會持續增

加，由㆒九九九年的 290 萬㆟增至㆓零零五年的 333 萬㆟ (不

包括外籍家庭傭工及在香港以外 ㆞ 方工作及受僱於香港以

外㆞方工商機構的香港居民 )，即推算由㆒九九九至㆓零零五

年，平均年增率為 2.35%。

(b) 由㆒九九九至㆓零零五年，就業㆟數增幅增幅增幅增幅最大的行業為「金

融、保險、㆞產及商用服務業」，推算將增加 175 900 個職位，

主要是由於「商用服務業」有大增幅，推算業界將增加 106 100

個職位。

(c) 由㆒九九九至㆓零零五年，就業㆟數減幅減幅減幅減幅最大的行業為「製

造業」，推算將減少 51 700 個職位，減幅主要集㆗於「服裝

製品業」，推算將減少 17 200 個職位。

(d) 本港經濟持續轉型，經濟活動愈來愈趨向以知識為本，預期

市場對較高層職位的需求會較前增長迅速。㆒九九九至㆓零

零五年增長增長增長增長最大的職業為「法律、會計、商業及相關的輔助

專業㆟員」，推算增加職位 148 300 個，其㆗ 38 500 個來自

「進出口貿易業」。

(e) 然而，低技術水平工㆟ (包括文員、服務工作及商店銷售㆟

員、工藝及有關㆟員、機台及機器操作員及裝配員，以及非

技術工㆟ )的推算就業㆟數增長則明顯較為緩慢。在㆒九九九

至㆓ 零零五年間，就業 ㆟ 數顯著減少減少減少減少的職業為「辦公室文

員」，推算將縮減 38 900 個，其㆗ 18 400 個屬「進出口貿易

業」，而最受影響的為年齡介乎 20 至 29 歲「高㆗」教育程

度的㆟士。

( f ) 預期㆖述發展將會令就業㆟數的組合有進㆒步轉變，未來數

年高技術水平工 ㆟ 所佔比例續有增加。至 ㆓ 零零五年，經

理、行政㆟員、專業及輔助專業㆟員的總㆟數，推算將佔總

就業㆟數的 39.5%，較㆒九九九年的 32.7%有所增加。另㆒

方面，低技術水平工㆟所佔的比率在同期內則相應㆘降，由

67.3%㆘跌至 60.6%。

(g) 由於資訊為本的活動在本港經濟體系㆗日趨重要，我們已另

行就未來數年資訊科技㆟員的需求作出推算，結果顯示所有

行業的資訊科技㆟員，由㆒九九九年的 50 000 ㆟增至㆓零零

五年的 98 200 ㆟，平均年增率為 12%。預期增幅主要集㆗於

金融、保險、㆞產及商用服務業，以及分銷和飲食業。

(h) 預期訪港旅遊業亦有所增長，尤其在㆒些如士尼主題公園

的旅遊景點開放以後，會有更多㆟來港旅遊。根據推算，旅

遊及相關行業的就業 ㆟ 數將會持續增加，由 ㆒ 九九九年的

339 300 ㆟增至㆓零零五年的 392 100 ㆟，平均年增率為

2.4%。增幅主要集㆗於輔助專業㆟員、服務工作及商店銷售

㆟員。

( i ) ㆗國加入世貿對其外貿、投資及資金流動情況均有深遠的影

響，其溢流效應亦會對本港經濟帶來重大裨益，從而刺激「進

出口貿易業」和「金融服務業」的㆟力需求。

( j ) 根據推算，「進出口貿易業」的就業㆟數會由㆒九九九年的

495 400 ㆟增至㆓零零五年的 563 600 ㆟。預期增幅會集㆗於

輔助專業㆟員、經理及行政㆟員。

(k) 至於金融服務業的就業㆟數，則會由㆒九九九年的 176 500

㆟增至㆓零零五年的 219 300 ㆟。預期增幅亦會集㆗於輔助

專業㆟員、經理及行政㆟員。

( l ) 按教育程度分析，我們推算㆓零零五年㆟力需求的絕對數字

會有廣泛增加，但增幅較大的是較高層職位的工㆟，這與香

港的經濟趨於以知識為本有關。反映這個轉變，我們推算技

工或以㆖程度工㆟的就業㆟數在未來 6 年的平均年增率為

6.2%，相對於高㆗及以㆘程度工㆟的 0.7%增幅，速度明顯較

快。

(m) 因此，我們推算技工或以㆖程度的工㆟，在總就業㆟數㆗所

佔比率，會由㆒九九九年的 28%，增至㆓零零五年的 35%，

但高㆗及以㆘程度工㆟所佔比率則會由 72%㆘降至 65%。

(n) 將㆟力需求推算和㆟力供應推算相比，我們得出㆓零零五年

這個參考年的㆟力資源供求情況。結果顯示，初㆗或以㆘教

育程度的㆟力將會「過剩」 (+136 700 ㆟ )，但預科及專㆖程

度 ( -85 500 ㆟ )以至學士學位及以㆖程度 ( -31 400 ㆟ )的㆟力將

會供不應求。要滿足各經濟行業的㆟力需求，我們必須盡早

制定及推行適當的補救措施。

Executive Summary

The major findings of this report are summarised below:

(a) Total employment in all jobs based in Hong Kong will continue togrow, from 2.90 million in 1999 to 3.33 million in 2005 (excludingforeign domestic helpers and Hong Kong residents working andemployed by businesses outside Hong Kong), representing aprojected average annual growth rate of 2.35% in 1999-2005.

(b) Industry sector with the most significant growth (1999-2005) will bethe “financing, insurance, real estate & business services” sector witha projected growth of 175 900 jobs mainly from the “businessservices” industry which is projected to expand by 106 100 jobs.

(c) Industry sector with the most significant decline (1999-2005) will bethe “manufacturing” sector with a projected decline of 51 700 jobsmainly from the “wearing apparel” industry which is projected tolose 17 200 jobs.

(d) Amidst the on-going restructuring of Hong Kong towards aknowledge-based economy, demand for workers at the upper segmentof the occupational hierarchy is expected to grow more rapidly thanbefore. Occupation with the most significant growth (1999-2005)will be the “legal, accounting, business and related associateprofessionals” which are projected to increase by 148 300, with38 500 of them generate from the “import/export trade”.

(e) However, employment of lower skill workers, namely clerks, serviceworkers and shop sales workers, craft and related workers, plant andmachine operators and assemblers, and workers in elementaryoccupations, is projected to grow appreciably slower. Theoccupation with the most significant decline (1999-2005) will be“office clerks” which are projected to shrink by 38 900. Out ofthem, 18 400 are dropped from the “import/export trade”, and thosemost affected are aged between 20-29 with “upper secondary” levelof education.

(f) These development can be expected to lead to a further shift in thecomposition of employment in favour of higher skill workers in thecoming years. By 2005, the share of managers, administrators,professionals and associate professionals in total employment isprojected at 39.5%, up from 32.7% in 1999. On the other hand, thecorresponding share for lower skill workers will decline, from 67.3%to 60.6% over the same period.

(g) Given the growing significance of information-based activities in theeconomy, a separate projection has been made of the future demandfor IT personnel in the coming years. The projection shows that ITpersonnel in all industry sectors will jump from 50 000 in 1999 to98 200 in 2005, representing an average growth rate of 12% perannum. Most of this increase is expected to occur in financing,insurance, real estate and business services, and in distributive andcatering trades.

(h) Inbound tourism is also expected to grow, especially after opening ofsuch tourist attractions as Disneyland. The projection results showthat employment in tourism and related sectors will continue to grow,from 339 300 in 1999 to 392 100 in 2005, yielding an average growthrate of 2.4% per annum. The increase is expected to occur mainlyamongst associate professionals, service workers and shop salesworkers.

(i) The accession of China to WTO carries a far-reaching implication onher external trade, investment and financial flows. The spill-overeffect on Hong Kong economy will be substantial and will stimulatethe manpower needs in the “import/export” trade and the “financialservices” sector.

(j) The projection results show that employment in the “import/ exporttrade” will grow from 495 400 in 1999 to 563 600 in 2005. Theincrease is expected to occur mainly amongst associate professionalsand managers and administrators.

(k) As for the financial services sector, the employment will grow from176 500 in 1999 to 219 300 in 2005. The increase is also expectedto occur mainly amongst associate professionals and managers andadministrators.

(l) Analysed by educational attainment, a broad-based increase inmanpower requirement in absolute terms is projected for 2005. Yetthe increase will be greater for workers at the upper segment of theoccupational hierarchy, in parallel with the development of HongKong into a knowledge-based economy. Reflecting this,employment of workers with craft education or above is projected toincrease by an average of 6.2% per annum over the next six years,distinctly faster than the 0.7% rise projected for workers with uppersecondary education and below.

(m) Consequently, the share of workers with craft education or above intotal employment is projected to increase from 28% in 1999 to 35%

in 2005, while the corresponding share for workers with uppersecondary education and below is expected to fall from 72% to 65%.

(n) Comparing the projections of manpower requirement with manpowersupply together, the manpower resource balance for the referenceyear 2005 is obtained. The results reveal that there are “surplus” inmanpower with lower secondary education and below (+136 700)and shortfalls in manpower with education attainment at post-secondary (-85 500) and first degree and above (-31 400). To meetthe manpower needs of various economic sectors, suitable remedialmeasures will need to be devised and implemented as early aspracticable.

Chapter 1: Manpower Requirements by Industry and Occupation

Introduction

In the light of the globalisation and liberalisation of trade and

investment and China’s impending accession to the World Trade

Organisation (WTO), there is a practical need for the Government to

reassess the likely impact these changes may have on the local

employment situation so that we can plan to meet the manpower demand

of our economy. Based on a desktop research, statistical projections

have been made to yield projected manpower requirements by occupation

category and educational level within economic sector.

Projected manpower requirements by industry sector

2. Using 1999 as the base year, changes in manpower requirements

by industry sector in the next six years up to 2005 are projected in Table

1.1 and Chart 1.1 below:

Chapter 2: Manpower Requirements by Occupation and Required

Educational Level

Introduction

This chapter provides findings on the following analyses:

manpower requirements by required educational level;

detailed occupations with the greatest increase/decrease in

manpower requirements by required educational level; and

manpower requirements of the “import/export” trade, “financial

services” sector, the information technology (IT) sector and the

“tourism-related” industry, since they represent the fastest

growing industries/ sector of our economy in the foreseeable

future.

Manpower requirements by occupation and required educational(1)

level (1999 & 2005)

2. The manpower requirements by required educational level are

projected in Table 2.1 and Chart 2.1 below:

(1) The projected employment by required educational level in 2005 is arrived at by taking into consideration two groups of

persons, viz. survivors and new entrants. For details, please refer to para. 17-28 of the methodology note in Annex I.

3. The projection results indicate that the manpower requirements

across educational level increase in terms of absolute number. However,

the percentage share of manpower requirements for workers with

relatively low educational level (i.e. “lower secondary and below” and

“upper secondary”) will diminish from 1999 to 2005. On the other hand,

the demand for better-educated workers (i.e. “post-secondary” and “first

degree and above”) will increase substantially from 1999 to 2005.

4. Major occupations across industries identified with the greatest

increase in manpower requirements (1999-2005) and their corresponding

required educational levels are set out in Table 2.2:

5. It is of interest to note that the projection results indicate that

different industries require different level of education within the same

occupation group. For example, in the case of the “physical,

mathematical and engineering science associate professionals”, a first

degree is required in the “business services” industry whereas in the case

of “import/export” trade, a “post-secondary” level of education is

required.

Household Survey in 1999.

7. It can also be observed from Table 2.3 that workers of the

following three age groups will be most affected:

(a) workers of 20-29 age group who are working as:

“office clerks” in the “import/export” trade, “banks”

industry, “business services” , and “financial institutions

other than banks” (a total of 33 300); or

“metal and machinery trades workers” in the “non-

electrical machinery & transport equipment” industry

and the “construction” industry (a total of 8 300);

(b) workers of the 30-39 age group who are working as:

“small business managers” in the wholesale trade (a total

of 4 000); and

“stationary and machine operators and assemblers” in

the “paper & paper products, printing and publishing”

industry (a total of 3 500);

(c) workers of the 40-49 age group who are working as

“stationary machine operators and assemblers” in the

“wearing apparel” industry and the “textiles” industry (a

total of 13 600).

8. The educational attainment by majority of these workers are

either “upper secondary” or “lower secondary and below”.

Manpower requirements of the information technology (IT) sector

9. IT personnel of various categories(1) are required by nearly all

industry sectors. Requirements by industry sector are as shown in

Table 2.4 and Chart 2.2 below:

10. It is worthnoting from Chart 2.2 that the industry sectors with the

greatest increase in IT manpower requirement are:

“ financing, insurance, real estate & business services” (+18 000); and

“wholesale, retail & import/export trades, restaurants & hotels”

(+16 600).

Manpower requirements in the “ tourism-related” industry

11. Service industries which are considered to be “tourism-related”

comprise Category A and Category B(2) according to their degree of

involvement:

Category A

hotel and boarding houses;

air transport; and

services incidental to transport: travel agents and airline ticket

agents.

Category B

retail: retail of goods that tourists usually purchase and

departmental stores;

restaurants; and

sports, cultural & recreational services: amusement parks.

(2) For Category A industries, practically all of the persons engaged therein serve tourists as the main

clients. For Category B industries, only a fraction of the persons engaged therein serve tourist,some as primary clients and other as secondary clients.

For simplicity, these service industries in Category A and Category B are

collectively called “tourism-related” industry.

12. Change in manpower requirements for the “tourism-related”

industry as a whole by occupation group are set out in Table 2.5 and

Chapter 3: Balance between Manpower Requirements and Manpower

Supply by Educational Level

Introduction

To find out whether the future manpower supply can meet the

manpower requirements by 2005 in terms of educational level, we compare

the results of the 1999-based manpower supply projections and the 1999-

based manpower requirement projections.

2. There are two kinds of manpower balance, which have meaning

as follows:

(a) positive manpower balance

It occurs in a given educational level when the size of manpower

supply is greater than the number of jobs requiring this specific educational

level. In the circumstances, the “manpower in surplus” will move to jobs

requiring higher/lower educational levels or will become unemployed.

(b) negative manpower balance

It occurs in a given educational level when the size of

manpower supply is smaller than the number of jobs requiring this

specific educational level. In the circumstances, the “manpower shortfall”

will result in jobs being filled by underqualified/ overqualified workers or

will give rise to vacancies due to the shortage of suitably qualified

manpower to fill these vacant jobs.

Comparison between projected manpower requirements and supply

by educational level

3. At different educational levels, the results of comparison are as

follows:

(a) Lower secondary and below

Projected manpower supply: 1 202 200

Projected manpower requirements: 1 065 500

Manpower balance: + 136 700

As a percentage of manpower supply: + 11.4%

Interpretation: There will be a significant over-supply of workers at

“lower secondary and below” level. Of these 136 700 “mismatched

workers”, some may be able to take up jobs requiring higher educational

level (such as upper secondary) due to their demonstrated competence

and accumulated work experience. For the rest, their employment

prospects are less clear.

(b) Upper secondary

Projected manpower supply: 1 120 200

Projected manpower requirements: 1 105 000



Interpretation: There is a small surplus of workers at “upper secondary”

education. Of these 15 200 “mismatched workers”, some may be able

to take up jobs requiring higher educational level (such as post-

secondary) due to their demonstrated competence and accumulated

work experience. For the rest, their employment prospects are less

clear.

(c) Craft

Projected manpower supply: 32 100

Projected manpower requirements: 24 700



Interpretation: There is a small surplus of workers at “craft” education.

Statistically speaking, this discrepancy involves only an insignificant

number of workers if compared with the overall size of the labour force.

(d) Post-secondary



Manpower balance: - 85 500

As a percentage of manpower supply: - 16.0%

Interpretation: There is a significant under-supply of workers at this

educational level. As a result, future jobs requiring “post-secondary”

are likely to be occupied by underqualified workers. However, the

emerging development of post-secondary college will provide

additional manpower supply at post-secondary level to alleviate part of

this imbalance.

(e) First degree and above



Manpower balance: - 31 400

As a percentage of manpower supply: - 6.5%

Interpretation: In tandem with the economic restructuring towards

knowledge-based activities, the demand for workers with degree

education or above is projected to grow at a fast pace than the

corresponding manpower supply, resulting in a supply shortfall of

31 400 workers.

4. The above manpower balances are summarised in Table 3.1

below:

Caveats

5. The manpower requirement projections indicate what may

happen to the occupational structure and educational requirement for

Hong Kong’s manpower over the medium term (i.e. up to 2005) and have

been compiled on the basis of the employment projections made by the

Census and Statistics Department, expert views on the future

occupational structure of Hong Kong’s economy and technical

assumptions.

6. In the present exercise, projection is made of manpower

requirement, free of any constraint, so as to be able to reveal the degree of

manpower resource imbalance or mismatch for different levels of

educational attainment.

7. The projections contained in this report do not take into account

any unforeseen and unpredictable economic or social incidents which

may possibly affect the outcome. An example is the sudden onset of the

Asian financial turmoil in 1997 which has had a major impact on Hong

Kong’s labour market.

Factors affecting the manpower requirements

- Agriculture and fishing in Hong Kong are sunset industries as young workers are not willing to join the trade.- Farmers suffer from the frequent flooding during heavy rain. Urban sprawl reduces farming acreage following rapid commercial and residential

development in the NT (“Market-oriented skilled agricultural and fishery workers”).- The “Recess period” for fishing in the South China Sea became longer in the recent years. The heavy maintenance cost of fishing boats and equipment

makes the “fishery” industry less and less profitable (“Market-oriented skilled agricultural and fishery workers”).- It is assumed that the occupational mix of this industry in 2005 is identical to that of 1999.

- With office automation and creation of multi-function machinery, manpower was saved. The resources will utilize to perform higher level tasks, such asperform more analysis on the products produced (“Physical, mathematical and engineering science associate professionals” and “Physical, mathematical andengineering science professionals”).

- E-commerce provides an additional marketing channel for HK manufacturers. Demand for IT professionals by local manufacturers will thus increase in thecoming 5 years.

- Owing to e-commerce, it can be expected there will be a less demand for supporting staff ("Office clerks").- Labour intensive production process is less likely to stay here ("Stationary machine operators and assemblers" and "Labourers in mining, construction,

manufacturing, agriculture and fishing").- The occupational employment is projected based on the past trend.

- With China’s accession to the WTO, there will be an elimination of quota restrictions on the Mainland’s textiles and clothing exports. This will increaseits trade volume and inward foreign direct investment in that industry. This will present HK’s garment manufacturers with even broader opportunitiesand enhance further HK’s status in the world’s fashion market.

- There will be further relocation of production facilities by HK’s garment manufacturers to the Mainland, albeit not so speedily since the quota system willstill be in force until 2005. For the garment manufacturing industries, there would not be much difference in the skill levels required. The occupationmix would however be changed. There would be less demand for production workers (“Stationary machine operators and assemblers”, “Other craft andrelated workers” and “Labourers in mining, construction, manufacturing, agriculture and fishing”).

- With the development in IT and improvement in machinery, less manpower resources would be required. The number of production lines in HK wouldcontinue to decrease, so would the number of persons engaged ("Stationary machine operators and assemblers" and "Other craft and related workers").The major task to be handled by Hong Kong's companies would be receiving orders.

- Concerning the changes in the skill levels and occupation mix in the next 10 years, general IT knowledge was required. Since such establishment mightrequire one or two professionals IT personnel, there would not be large requirements of such personnel.

- The occupational employment is projected based on the past trend.

- The extensive application of computer and technology in the production process and the improvement of investment environment in mainland China resultin the reduction of manpower, in particular those operative staff (“Stationary machine operators and assemblers”).

- Better investment environment in mainland China and trade liberalization will attract some more factories in HK to relocate across the border. Yet,another massive reduction in the employment is very unlikely since the majority of the factories have been relocated outside HK. Ultimately, HK willbecome a design centre (“Legal, accounting, business and related associate professionals”) with little labour intensive production process (“Stationarymachine operators and assemblers” and “Labourers in mining, construction, manufacturing, agriculture and fishing”).

- HK’s manufacturers of IT equipment could also benefit from trade liberalisation in the Mainland. The market for conventional equipment like personalcomputers and mobile phones will continue to be dominated by a few large Mainland and foreign suppliers. Yet HK manufacturers, given their ability toquickly apply updated technology as well as their practice of global sourcing for suitable and cost-effective components, can concentrate on identifyingniche IT products for Internet and telecommunications applications.

- The demand for IT equipment in the mainland China will be very large for commercial and personal use. The demand will further increase with theelimination of tariff on IT equipment. The liberalization in trading and distribution will enhance the sales of IT equipment.

- The extensive application of computer and technology ("Physical, mathematical and engineering science associate professionals" and "Physical,mathematical and engineering science professionals") in the production process will decrease the demand for production staff.

- Establishment of the Cyberport and the Science Part will encourage research and development activities and subsequently requires more IT professionals("Physical, mathematical and engineering science associate professionals" and "Physical, mathematical and engineering science professionals"). Therewill be some prototyping jobs that require some production staff.

- The job opportunities of operative and craftsmen ("Stationary machine operators and assemblers") will continue to decrease along with the furtherrelocation of manufacturing operations to the Mainland by Hong Kong manufacturers.

- The job opportunities of management level may not decrease in the next 10 years because it takes time for mainland managers to accumulate managementexpertise and international exposure ("Small business managers"). Hong Kong manufacturers will still mainly rely on Hong Kong managers to supervisetheir production facilities in the Mainland.

- IT could only replace lower-skilled workers ("Stationary machine operators and assemblers"). The technical and professionals personnel of respectiveindustries however could not be easily replaced ("Physical, mathematical and engineering science associate professionals" and "Physical, mathematicaland engineering science professionals") in the medium term.

- There is popularity for setting up Webster by local newspaper agencies and the emergence of cyber newspaper, thus the demand for IT staff (“Physical,mathematical and engineering science associate professionals”), reporters and editors ("Social science and other professionals") may increase.

- Computerization will continue in this industry ("Physical, mathematical and engineering science associate professionals"). It may result in demand formore IT engineers and the further reduction of low skilled labourers ("Stationary machine operators and assemblers" and “Precision, handicraft, printingand related trades workers”).

- For printing and publishing industry, the change in the occupational mix occurred. The traditional workers responsible for typesetting were replaced andmost of them were retrained to take up jobs for data input during the process of computerization. However, in recent years, the demand for local datainput workers dropped very significantly after the establishment of word-processing centers in Mainland China. Some of them were also trained to learnediting work (“Office clerks”) but unfortunately most of the editing work can now be done easily by the editors themselves with the aid of computer.

- The positive effect of the opening of the China market for telecommunications products will be little because HK manufacturers (mainly operating smalland medium sized factories) have few comparative advantages when compared with those multinational.

- There will be job opportunities for personnel engaged in product design ("Physical, mathematical and engineering science associate professionals”) field inthe coming 10 years.

- Given the transition of the HK economy is smooth, local job opportunities in marketing, commercial R&D and industrial design will increase, while thosein administrative support and manufacturing operation will decrease.

- There will still be a demand for maintenance of aircraft workers (“Metal and machinery trades workers”) since this services have to be completed locally(At presents there are 4 500 persons engaged).

- With the development of HK into an international transport hub, there will be a demand for transport equipment.- The occupational employment is projected based on the past trend.

Erection, maintenance and repair of immobile structures; the physical development of land for purposes other than agriculture; the demolition of existing structures, etc and manual workers at construction site.

Factors affecting the manpower requirements- There would be a substantial increase in the demand for workers engaged in repair and maintenance works ("Extraction and building trades workers") in accordance with rising concerns

on real estate maintenance management from the pubic.- For the future changes of skill levels and occupation mix, there would be more skilled workers at the supervisory level. Also, the overall level of skill of construction workers will rise

the demand for workers in scaffolding, concrete and carpentry work in construction sites and for workers in decoration, repair and maintenance work ("Extraction and building tradesworkers"). There would be less demand for workers in steel bending and erection work.

- For large scale infrastructure and development projects (e.g. West Rail, Ma On Shan Railway, MTR extensions, Cyberport, Disneyland), they probably will increase the demand forvarious types of tradesman and semi-skilled workers, especially after the year 2002 when the construction works of the above-mentioned projects will actually be launched. However,these projects would compete against the private sector for quality middle-rank supervisory officers, e.g. foremen and clerks of work ("Physical, mathematical and engineering scienceassociate professionals"), who have been in short supply in the market.

- More professional services (e.g. architects, engineers, surveyors) (“Physical, mathematical and engineering science professionals”) in construction sector will be required in China afterits accession to the WTO. HK business will more likely participate in these projects in a joint operation mode.

- Manual workers at a construction site include craftsmen, semi-skilled and unskilled workers. However, professional and administrative personnel such as architects, engineers,surveyors, contract managers, site agents, clerks of works, foremen and general clerical staff are excluded. According to the 1999-based Employment Projections, there were 70 941on-site manual workers in 1999 and 76 621 in 2005.

- Disneyland: As to the total of 16 000 man-years of construction employment likely to be created during the land formation and infrastructure construction and the erection ofsuperstructure and facilities for Phase I of the theme part, it is crudely reckoned that around 12 000 man-years are related to on-site jobs (mainly skilled, semi-skilled and unskilledworkers at site) and around 4 000 man-years are related to off-site jobs (such as professionals and associate professionals, and administrative and other support staff for the constructionwork). A more detailed breakdown by job categories can only be made available when detailed planning for the various specific construction projects takes shapes.

- Based on the results of an exercise entitled “Assessment of new jobs available as a result of government's major policy initiatives and key projects”, the new jobs available are asfollows:

- Most of the firms which have moved their manufacturing processes into the Mainland continue to operate in HK, as import/ export firms. Thus, creatingemployment opportunities for “Small business managers”. This could facilitate importation, and subsequent re-exportation, of goods produced in theMainland to foreign markets.

- These firms, operating as import/ export firms in HK, normally will provide manufacturing-related technical support services to the associatedmanufacturing firms in the Mainland, e.g. product design, sample and mould making, production planning (“Legal, accounting, business and relatedassociate professionals” and "Physical, mathematical and engineering science associate professionals").

- There will be trend of companies from mainland China to set up regional headquarters and representative offices in HK to coordinate their financingprogram and overseas operations ("Small business managers"). There will be demand for IT professionals ("Physical, mathematical and engineeringscience professionals"); while the demand for secretaries and clerks will decrease ("Office clerks").

- For the development of e-commerce, more IT professionals will be employed. They can apply their knowledge in various value-added services, e.g.trade logistics.

- With China’s accession to the WTO, the large retail shop will set up more branches in mainland China. It requires more logistics management andproduct merchandizing support from Hong Kong ("Legal, accounting, business and related associate professionals").

- Because the Mainland’s transportation facilities and marketing skills are still not entirely satisfactory, opportunities exist for HK to re-package Mainlandproducts and help them towards export ("Legal, accounting, business and related associate professionals").

- Hong Kong companies may join force with Mainland enterprises to improve competitiveness, raise quality of service, and create brand names for therespective products to go overseas (“Corporate managers”, “Small business managers” and "Legal, accounting, business and related associateprofessionals").

- More foreign companies will set up offices in HK to manage their sales and distribution in the Mainland ("Legal, accounting, business and relatedassociate professionals").

- The use of e-commerce in marketing goods would generate the development of distribution networks. There would be increase in demand for staff tosupport logistic services, but less demand for shopkeepers of shop-based retailing ("Salespersons and models").

- E-tailers have to invest and employ more people to develop and maintain their websites and provide back-end supports in logistics, order fulfillment,payment and inventory.

- On the other hand, staff demand will grow slightly, as chain retailers will set up branches in “new” residential areas and those growing new towns ("Smallbusiness managers").

- Computerization and automation in the industry (e.g. in hotel management) will increase the demand for IT staff ("Physical, mathematical and engineeringscience professionals").

- On the other hand, the demand for supporting staff ("Sales and services elementary occupations" and "Office clerks") will decrease. At the same time,the use of e-commerce in procurement and marketing also implies that there will be a reduction of supporting staff.

- Notwithstanding this, it is expected that the potential for growth in tourism will be enhanced further after China's accession to WTO and especially whenthe Hong Kong Disneyland opens in 2005. This will rejuvenate the local hotel industries and create new employment opportunities to "Personal andprotective services workers".

- The Government 's "open sky" policy, together with increased trade and investment opportunities brought about by the accession of China to the WTO, areexpected to bring about more cargo and passenger traffic by air.

- With e-commerce, more airlines would rely more on IT technology, such as the use of e-ticket systems. The demand for IT experts would increase.With new information technology, back-end manpower resources would be saved. This may lead to a reduction in demand for "Office clerks" andworkers in the "Sales and services elementary occupations".

- There can be an increase in overall demand for staff to handle the increase in visitors to Disneyland in 2005.- The occupational employment is projected based on the past trend.

- HK will change its position from a shipping centre to a logistic centre. Following the increase in trade volume to/from China due to the China’saccession to the WTO, the demand for "Legal, accounting, business and related associate professionals" in logistic services will increase.

- The application of e-commerce in procurement and marketing may lead to less demand for supporting staff (e.g. "Office clerks").- In response to the e-tailers’ need, firms engaged in the industry will provide high value-added third-party logistics (TPL) services such as inventory and

warehouse management, light assembly, pick and pack according to orders, product refilling and repackaging, sorting and labeling and door-to-doorservices. This will create new employment opportunities in the “Sales and services elementary occupations”.

- Results of GHS showed that between 1994 and 1999, there were no figures on “Physical, mathematical and engineering science professionals”.

- With the prevalence of e-commerce, there will generate a demand for labour in courier and logistic services. More computerization/ automation isexpected that will lead to the demand for "Physical, mathematical and engineering science associate professionals".

- However, courier and logistic services are labour intensive, the related jobs can hardly be wholly replaced by technology and automation. Therefore, theremay be an increase in demand for manpower in the "Sales and services elementary occupations" serving as messengers/ package and luggage deliverers/porters.

- With the Mainland becoming more open and at the same time gaining greater access to overseas markets, Hong Kong will continue to function as theMainland's key window to international capital and finance. There will be more fund raising activities in Hong Kong for Mainland enterprises.Demand for manpower in this area will be on the increase ("Corporate managers").

- More IT personnel ("Physical, mathematical and engineering science professionals", and "Physical, mathematical and engineering science associateprofessionals") but less front-line staff like tellers will be required. This coincides with the rapid development of Internet banking within the comingyears.

- On the other hand, the demand for staff "Legal, accounting, business and related associate professionals" to provide high value-added services (personalbanking services such as customer finance, credit card and mortgage loans) will increase.

- It is expected that sales and marketing posts in the banking industry generated by the MPF scheme will increase initially.

- With China’s accession to the WTO, the insurance sector will also benefit substantially as the insurance market in China is underdeveloped. With Chinaopening up her vast insurance market, there will be immense opportunities for Hong Kong insurance companies to develop businesses and partnerships inthe Mainland market. On the one hand, there are ample opportunities for Hong Kong's insurance companies to collaborate with the multinationalcorporations to assist their entry into the Mainland market. This would require the expertise and services of "Corporate managers". On the other hand,there will be huge demand for "Legal, accounting, business and related associate professionals" to help the Mainland practitioners to upgrade theirsupervision and management system, marketing skills, service quality and product innovation to meet the challenge of international competition.

- The MPF Scheme Authority estimated that the number of staff directly engaged in managing the MPF scheme and the MPF investment in the banking,insurance and fund management industries will increase by about 1 200 (existing about 1 000) in year 2 000 and increase further by 140 in the next fewyears.

- People incline to use Internet for information searching rather than to execute transaction. Displacement of staff by e-commerce will be limited assubsequent follow-up has still to be done manually through agents ("Legal, accounting, business and related associate professionals").

- The real estate maintenance/ management industry is very labour intensive (e.g. building caretakers/ gardeners). New technology could hardly replacelabour in this area. There is still a need for the physical presence of the management personnel for psychological reasons. It is expected that demandfor workers in the “Sales and services elementary occupations” will be great.

- E-commerce would not be widely used in the real estate brokerage and agency sector. Estate agents will still be needed to provide services ("Legal,accounting, business and related associate professionals").

- More professional services (e.g. architects, engineers, surveyors) in the real estate development and construction sector will be required in China after itsaccession to the WTO. Hong Kong business will more likely participate in these projects in a joint operation mode. This would create an increase indemand for "Physical, mathematical and engineering science professionals" and "Physical, mathematical and engineering science associate professionals".

- It is assumed that the occupational mix of this industry in 2005 is similar to that of 1999.

- With China’s accession to the WTO, there would be more business opportunities for the legal, accounting, architectural and engineering services industriesin the mainland China market. The demand for workers in legal and accounting services will increase ("Legal, accounting, business and related associateprofessionals"). Some will be working in mainland China.

- There would be more IT professionals in developing software’s and providing related maintenance services ("Physical, mathematical and engineeringscience professionals", "Physical, mathematical and engineering science associate professionals"). Some will be working in mainland China.

- China offers to open up the markets for a broad range of professional services including legal, accountancy, taxation, management consultancy,architecture, engineering, urban planning, medical and dental, and computer-related services. The envisaged great expansion of demand for this largevariety of professional services in the Mainland will present great opportunities for Hong Kong firms and creates opportunities for "Corporate managers"and "Small business managers".

- Based on the 2000 Manpower Study in Hong Kong Software Industry conducted by Hong Kong Productivity Council, roughly 70% of the 238 companiesinterviewees said they were looking for staff with web-related skills. It is expected that demand for web design and web-based application programmingto grow noticeably in the coming years. Also, staff who were conversant with application programming, database management, IT product sales andmarketing, as well as network administration will be in great demand.

- On the other hand, the demand for clerical staff will decrease. For example, the chairman of Law Society said that the number of supporting staff in legalfirms (e.g. secretaries and clerks) decreased from 15 500 in 1997 to 12 000 in 2000.

- In the next 3-4 years, the Hospital Authority (HA) plans to recruit 260-280 doctors per year for both new services and replacement. The new hospital inTseung Kwan O will open in April 2000. However, there will be a net reduction in the number of HA employees given that there will be no more newhospitals coming up.

- The demand for enrolled nurses would decrease because the hospital management would prefer to employ health care assistants to replace enrolled nurses.- Based on the 1996 Health Manpower Survey conducted by the Department of Health, there were 21 122 qualified nurses and midwives (active) and 5 750

doctors (active).- Increasing popularity of Chinese herbal medicine may lead to an increase demand for Chinese medicine practitioners (“Life science and health associate

professionals”).- It is assumed that the occupational mix of this industry in 2005 is similar to that of 1999.

Projected Manpower by Occupation and Required Educational Level, 2005

Annex IProjection Methodology for

1999-based manpower requirement projection by occupationcategory and educational attainment within economic sector

Objective

1. The objectives of the manpower requirement projections are asfollows:

(a) project the future manpower requirement by industry andoccupation in 2005; and

(b) project the future manpower requirement by occupation andrequired educational level in 2005.

Coverage

2. The manpower requirement projections are based on the 1999-based employment projections compiled by the Census & StatisticsDepartment. It therefore has a coverage similar to the employmentprojections, meaning that all jobs of businesses based in Hong Kong,disregarding the place of work, will be included. However, Hong Kongresidents who are employed by and working in businesses in mainlandChina or in other places outside Hong Kong, and foreign domestichelpers are excluded.

Base Year

3. The base year of this round of manpower requirementprojections is 1999.

Historical Data

4. The employment data (by industry and occupation) collected in

General Household Survey (GHS), covering the period of 1994-19991 arethe source of historical time series for this projection exercise.

Calibration

5. The results of 1999-based Employment Projections are used forcalibration purpose.

Industry Groupings

6. The industry groupings broadly follow those adopted by the1999-based Employment Projections, with some adjustments. Fordetails, please see Appendix 1.

Occupation Groupings

7. The occupation groupings follow those adopted by the GeneralHousehold Survey. Please see Appendix 2.

Education Groupings

8. Please see Appendix 3 for details.

Consultation with industry leaders and experts

9. To assess the impact on the employment changes in terms ofoccupational level, a statistical projection exercise by simplyextrapolating the past trend into the future is obviously insufficient to

1 The GHS historical time series starting from 1994 are considered to be the most appropriate source for this

projection because more refined industry and occupation groupings were available since 1994. Besides, the1998 employment data (which largely reflect the tremendous and exceptional impact of the Asia financialturmoil on the local economy and employment market) had been taken out from the historical time series suchthat the trend behind the time series can be identified more accurately.

achieve such purpose. As such, it is necessary to enhance the projectionresults by incorporating the views of professionals, experts and leadingfigures in industry.

10. In March and April 2000, through a consultation exercisecarried out by the Census and Statistics Department for their 1999-basedEmployment Projections, expert views on the future occupational mixand required educational level were obtained. These views wereincorporated in compiling the manpower requirement projections.

Projection Steps

Stage 1: To construct the historical Industry-Occupation Matrices (I-OMatrices)

11. To break down the projected employment requirement byindustry in 2005 (i.e. results of the 1999-based Employment Projections)into the projected employment by industry and occupation in 2005, thefirst step was to obtain the projected average annual growth of eachoccupations in individual industries.

12. Therefore, the historical average annual growth rates byindustries and occupations were identified first. And GHS historicaltime series on employed persons by industry and occupation were usedfor the construction of the “Industry-Occupation Matrices”2 (I-OMatrices).

2 Since the industry groupings of GHS are not strictly comparable to those adopted by the 1999-based

Employment projections, employment statistics from the Quarterly Survey of Employment andVacancies (SEV) were adopted to facilitate the breakdown of GHS employment data for selectedindustry groups (such as Computing machinery & equipment).

13. By using this set of historical industry-occupation employment,a set of historical average annual growth rates (1994-1999) by industryand occupation can be derived3.

Stage 2: To compile the projected average annual growth rate by industryand occupation

14. The 1999-based manpower requirement projections are notmerely a statistical exercise. While the historical average annual growthrates (1994-1999) obtained in Stage 1 formed the basis for extrapolationinto the future, industry leaders and expert views as mentioned in para.11-12, results of surveys dedicated for this projection exercise, as well asconsultation and academic research were also incorporated to supplementand substantiate the projection results. These supplementary data (orcalled “soft data”) are listed as follows:

(a) Expert views obtained in Census & Statistics Department'sconsultation exercise for the 1999-based EmploymentProjections;

(b) Survey on Manpower Training and Job Skills Requirements;(c) Household Survey on Employment Concerns and Training

Needs;(d) Labour Department’s broad-level consultation with trade unions,

and employers’ organizations;(e) Statistics from a project entitled “Assessment of new jobs

available as a result of government’s major policy initiativesand key projects”;

(f) Independent employment data in selected occupations (such asschool teachers and social workers);

(g) Consultancy Study on the Manpower and Training Needs of the 3 These historical average annual growth rates (1994-1999) of each occupation were derived by taking

the compound average annual growth rates in 1994 – 1999 basically. However, some occupationsare more likely to be affected by Hong Kong’s economic restructuring and China’s accession to theWTO in terms of employment. These occupations include “Physical, mathematical and engineeringscience professionals”, “Legal, accounting, business and related professionals”, “Physical,mathematical and engineering science associate professionals”, “Legal accounting, business andrelated associate professionals”, “Office clerks” and “Sales and service elementary occupations”. Inextrapolating into the future, a decision is therefore made in adopting either the simple averageannual growth rate or the compound average annual growth rate to summarize the past trend and thenextrapolate to the future. The one that can better reflect the future employment trend of the industryspecific occupation will be selected.

Information Technology Sector;(h) A Study into the Manpower and Training Needs of the Hong

Kong Travel and Tourism Industry;(i) Vocational Training Council manpower survey reports; and(j) Press cutting containing views of professional and prominent

figures on the future development of industries .

Where necessary, these soft data (i.e. items (a) – (j)) were translated intonumerical form through the adoption of adjustment rate, and added to thehistorical average annual growth rate so that the projection results couldbe further supplemented and substantiated. The aggregation of thehistorical average annual growth rate and the adjustment rate formed the“projected average annual growth rates” (1999-2005) for each industryand occupation4.

Stage 3: To obtain the projected employment requirement by industry andoccupation

15. By applying the set of industry-occupational specific projectedaverage annual growth rates derived in Stage 2 to the 1999 employmentdata, the projected employment requirement by industry and occupationin 2005 were obtained.

4 In choosing a more appropriate method in projecting the future employment by industry and

occupation in this exercise, the statistical model fitting method and projected average annual growthrate method have been considered. Given that the number of time points in the GHS historical timeseries are very limited and the results of statistical evaluation based on the model fitting method areundesirable (i.e. the R-square statistics that measure the goodness of fit are too low), it is decided thatthe methodology of projected average annual growth rate is more appropriate and is thereforeadopted for this exercise.

Stage 4: To obtain the calibrated employment requirements by industryand occupation, 1999 and 2005

16. To tally with the results of the 1999-based employmentprojections, the 1999 GHS employment data as well as those projectedemployment data obtained in Stage 3 were calibrated with the results ofthe 1999-based employment projections.

Stage 5: To project the future employment in individual occupation byrequired educational level

17. The projected employment in each occupation by requirededucational level in 2005 is arrived at by taking into consideration twogroups of persons, viz.

(a) survivors and(b) new entrants.

Number of Survivors

18. “Survivors” refer to those who were already working in the baseyear (1999) and will continue to work until 2005. The number ofsurvivors in each occupation group is obtained by deducting the projectednumber of leavers due to:

(1) death;(2) emigration; and(3) departure (reasons for leaving the workforce other than (1) and

(2), such as “retirement”, “poor health”, “no financial need” and“looking after the elderly/baby etc.).

from the employed persons in the base year. Figures are then adjusted forthe net effect on change of occupation (i.e. the difference between thenumber of leaving survivors and the number of entering survivors in agiven occupation during two benchmark years of 1999 and 2005).

19. The projected number of death is estimated by applying theage-sex specific mortality rate to the base year employment and thendistributed to each occupation group.

20. The projected number of emigrants is estimated based on thepast trend and then projected to 1999-2005.

21. The projected number of departure is compiled based on thedeparture rate that is derived from a Special Topic Enquiry entitled“Labour Mobility and related subjects” attached to the GeneralHousehold Survey conducted by the Census and Statistics Department in1997.

22. Besides, the net effect of occupational mobility of survivors isalso captured by using the survey results of a Special Topic Enquiryentitled “Labour Mobility and related subjects” attached to the GeneralHousehold Survey conducted by the C&SD in 1997. Based on thesurvey results, we could broadly estimate the net gain or net loss ofsurvivors in a given occupation.

23. The following formula illustrates the computation method of theprojected number of survivors by occupation :

Projected Number of Survivors in Year t+6 =Projected Number of Survivors in Year t (i.e. Employment in the

Year t)Minus Projected Number of Death from Year t to Year t+6

Projected Number of Emigrants from Year t to Year t+6Projected Number of Departure from Year t to Year t+6

Minus/Plus Projected Net Effect on Change of Occupation fromYear t to Year t+6

Number of New Entrants

24. “New entrants” refer to those who newly enter into theworkforce after the base year (i.e. 1999). The number of new entrants byoccupation is estimated by subtracting the projected number of survivorsfrom the projected size of workforce by occupation.

25. That means for each occupation group :

Projected Number of New Entrants in Year t+6 =

Projected Employment in Year t+6Minus Projected Number of Survivors in Year t+6

Educational Requirements of the Survivors

26. The required educational levels of the survivors are set tobroadly follow the “actual educational composition” for each occupationcategory in the base year (1999).

Educational Requirements of the New Entrants

27. The educational requirements of new entrants are estimatedwith reference to the results of the Survey on Manpower Training and JobSkills Requirements conducted by the Census & Statistics Department in2000.

Stage 6 : To Combine the Educational Requirements of Survivors andNew Entrants

28. Combining the projected employment by occupation andrequired educational level in respect of survivors and new entrants, theprojected employment by occupation and required educational level canthen be obtained.
