public utilities as the Kowloon Canton Railway, the waterworks

section and the electrical and mechanical workshops of the

Public Works Department.

Women and young persons in these

undertakings work the same hours as other staff.

2. The Hong Kong Government does not distinguish between

industrial and non-industrial workers as such but only between

indoor and outdoor staff.

Unless their salaries are above a certain levél, most

Government employees other than members of the disciplined

forces can earn overtime.

Numbers of Women and Young Persons in Government industry

Information on the numbers of women and young persons

employed in Government industry is not readily available, but

it is understood that the number of women is very small and

also that very few young persons are so employed.
