LABOUR LEGISLATION

3.8 Hong Kong has an extensive range of labour legislation, controlling working hours and conditions for women and young people, paid holdiays and leave, workmen's compensation, safety at work, etc. The employment of children under the age of 15 is banned in both industrial and non-industrial undertakings.
3.9
There are no legal obstacles to the development of effective trade unions, though in the absence of a tradition of labour unionisation and because of political factors, only a minority of workers belong to unions and those that exist tend to be small and relatively ineffective.
Hong Kong and General Department
