All rights not granted by the above license are retained by the author. Abstract: ASTRACT The issue of minimum wage is complicated and carries a far-reaching impact on the future socio-economic development of Hong Kong. It involves a plethora of questions which need to be answered. For example, what is considered to be a reasonable minimum wage? Should it be across the board or targeted at individual trades or sectors? Is legislation absolutely essential? Should a pilot scheme be launched in the first place and mechanism for setting and adjusting the minimum wage? How to monitor that mechanism? Will a minimum wage result in a surge in labour costs to the level beyond the affordability of employers so that our business environment and economy will be seriously eroded? Will a minimum wage really benefit elementary workers who need such protection most or will they be priced out of the labour market as employers would prefer people of better skills and knowledge when the wage has to be at or above a certain level? In other words, will the policy be really effective and will not do more harm than good? When Hong Kong is moving towards a knowledge-based society and when labour -intensive jobs or jobs requiring just basic skills are fast diminishing, will a statutory minimum wage provide greater protection to workers in the lower strata or will we be taking away what remains of the precious job opportunities from them? These are all fundamental - 5/78 - questions that need to be tackled. However, it is hard to answer and consolidate the above questions, as the policy arena is varying in different circumstances. In other way round, I try to illustrate the views and stands of different politicians in Hong Kong considering the effectiveness of Minimum Wages Legislation and see how the Administration react in relation to the views of different politicians. As a result, we will see from the paper that the Administration is not going to take side, but, as a result, draws a line in between the politicians trying to resort the community conflict and balance the public interest in the sake of Hong Kong's situation. - 6/78 - DOI: 10.5353/th_b3828359 Subjects: Minimum wage - Law and legislation - China - Hong Kong Minimum wage - Political aspects - China - Hong Kong
