as no report on this convention has ever been called for and the relevant report form has not been sent to Hong Kong, it is impossible to examine in detail whether or not this convention can be applied. However, the technical difficulties encountered by the U.K. in not ratifying this convention would most likely be applieable in Hong Kong.
there are no proposals at present to introduce a comprehensive social security scheme in Hong Kong.
