It says around 400 thousands people in HK earn less than 30 HKdollars per hour.

Our minimum wage for a full time employee for our province is $9.5 Canadian dollars per hour(probably around 71 HK dollars).  So as long as you are full time employed, the employer will needs to pay you $9.5 per hour (even you are just working in McDonalds).

My conclusion is, if HK government doesn't set up a rule for the minimum wage, the basic salary would only get lower and lower because the employers would only push it as low as it can be.# M1 z( u/ {- T% V1 ^8 ^

Little bit of my own experience, when I first graduated a few years ago (before the economic crisis), my parents and relatives always ask me to go back to HK to find a job.

Honestly even right now, it would be easier for a person to find a job and get better pay in Canada or even US than in HK.
