(ii) Other services
4
An analysis in 1979 of cases involving the illegal employment of children showed that very few were attributable to financial need; in most cases the children had lost interest in their studies, were doing jobs only during summer holidays or had drifted into employment because of parental neglect. A range of social work services including family welfare services, student guidance and school social work services and outreaching social work is available to children or families who are in need of them.
Conclusion
10.
The Hong Kong Government is satisfied that the incidence of child labour in Hong Kong is now very low. However, every effort will continue to be made to improve services for children generally and to enforce vigorously the law against the employment of children.
