Annual index of hourly or weekly wage rates is not kept. No statistics are available on surveys. The Government is concentrating on obtaining statistics on time rates of wages and hours of work in selected manufacturing industries on a voluntary basis.
Lack of formal training and examination facilities and insufficient interest on the part of employers and employees.
There are no proposals at present to introduce a comprehensive social security scheme in Hong Kong.
