GBA Youth Employment Scheme

Greater Bay Area

The Chamber hosted a webinar on 14 January for members to ask the Government details of the just-launched Greater Bay Area Youth Employment Scheme, which provides subsidies for companies that employ Hong Kong youngsters to work in the GBA. Chamber Chairman Peter Wong welcomed Matthew Cheung, Chief Secretary for Administration, and his team Charles Hui, Assistant Commissioner for Labour, and Yeung Chi-kit, Senior Labour Officer before handing the floor to CEO George Leung to moderate the Q&A session. Many of the questions related to tax and labour regulations, as the employees will be working in the Mainland but will be employed under Hong Kong labour laws. Speakers said if employers have any uncertainties, they could visit the GBAYES website or write to them directly with their questions.
