on youth to advise the Government on matters relating to

youth development, to research into the needs and aspirations

of our young people, and to examine the need for a comprehensive

youth policy. After 18 months of deliberation, the Central

Committee on Youth has now produced a report on youth policy.

In compiling its report, the Committee has examined the

present system of provision of services to our young people,

studied the youth policies of other countries, visited a cross-section of agencies and organikations, organized

public seminars, carried out two surveys on the needs of

I would youth and on the community's aspirations on youth.

like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to Mrs. Rosanna Tam, who is the chairman of the Committee, and to all members of the committee, for their hard work in compiling

the report.

interested parties on its report before submitting its final

report and recommendations to the Government.
