[Li Jiachao: plans to deal with labor shortage will be announced, including limited importation of labor]-according to the Hong Kong Economic Daily, Hong Kong Special Administrative region Chief Executive Li Jiachao said in a meeting with the media before attending the executive meeting on 13 June that the Hong Kong Government will soon announce a plan to solve the labor shortage problem, including limited labour importation. He stressed that the major principle of labour importation is to protect the rights and interests of local workers, including the following three points. First, priority should be given to the employment of local workers. if labour is to be imported, it will only be targeted at industries which are obviously short of manpower, so as to solve the urgent problem of manpower shortage in the relevant industries. Second, to protect the wage income of local workers, the wages of imported workers should not be lower than the median wage of the relevant posts. Thirdly, the main task is to nurture and increase the number of local workers. The introduction of foreign workers is a supplementary and non-permanent measure.
