摘要

<正>HONG Kong, having hitherto taken pride in its free flow of human resources, currently faces a serious shortage of qualified professionals.SAR human resource assessment statistics in 2007 indicate a 100,000 shortfall in potential white collars and a 230,000 surplus of manual and casual workers. Areas most in need are banking, finance, business consultancy and information technology. In the midst of Hong Kong's transition to a knowledge economy its most serious human resource deficiency is in the area of research and development, according to HK government reports. This paucity in human resources has caused certain businesses in the region to consider seriously the possibility of moving offices elsewhere in Asia. Language is a main barrier for many SAR job seekers. At this point, ten years after the return of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China, around half of Hong Kong residents still do not speak putonghua. The English proficiency level of Hong Kong professionals is also declining.
