FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION FOR FACTORY WORKERS
****
FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION IS OF PARTICULAR RELEVANCE TO HONG KONG NOWADAYS BECAUSE OF THE RISING CONCERN FOR FAMILY DISORGANISATION, ACCORDING TO THE KWAI CHUNG TOWN OFFICER (NORTH), MR LAM YIU-TONG.
HE SAID MOST HONG KONG PEOPLE TENDED TO BE +WORKAHOLICS,+ SOMETIMES AT THE EXPENSE OF HEALTHY FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS.
MR LAM WAS OFFICIATING AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF A FAMILY DAY CARNIVAL AT THE CONEC CHRISTIAN COLLEGE IN KWAI CHUNG WHICH WAS JOINTLY ORGANISED BY THE TSUEN WAN DISTRICT BOARD'S
INDUSTRIAL SUB-COMMITTEE, THE INTERNATIONAL LABOUR ORGANISATION (ILO), THE CHINESE MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION AND THE ELECTRONIC DEVICES LIMITED TO PROMOTE FAMILY LIFE FOR FACTORY WORKERS.
THE CARNIVAL, FORMING PART OF A UNITED NATIONS-FUNDED PROGRAMME ON +POPULATION AND FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION. FEATURED FIVE HOURS OF VARIETY PERFORMANCES, GAMES STALLS, FILM SHOWS, TELE-MATCH, EXHIBITION AND A LUCKY DRAW.
+PERHAPS IT IS HIGH TIME WE CONSIDERED IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF OUR FAMILY LIFE THROUGH THE VARIOUS WAYS WE LEARNED TODAY, MR LAM SAID.
HE POINTED OUT THAT TSUEN WAN WAS HIGHLY INDUSTRIALISED WITH 55 PER CENT OF THE WORKING POPULATION IN THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY AND A HIGH +LABOUR FORCE PARTICIPATION RATE+ OF 69 PER CENT.
+WE ARE PROUD OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS AND BECAUSE WE HAVE A LARGE POPULATION WORKING IN INDUSTRIES, WE ARE ESPECIALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROSPERITY OF THE INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES AND THE WELL-BEING OF THOSE WORKING IN THEM.+
HE HOPED THAT SIMILAR FUNCTIONS FOR WORKERS WOULD BE HELD MORE FREQUENTLY, WITH MORE INDUSTRIALISTS PARTICIPATING IN THE FUTURE.
