Security Services Industry - 2018 Manpower Survey Report Image

  • 2018 Manpower Survey Report

Challenge of Ageing Workforce

The number of elderly people aged 65 or older will reach around 35.9% of the population in 2064 in Hong Kong. In light of the ageing population and declining labour force, the government relaxed the age limit for Category B Security Personnel Permit (SPP) to release the workforce of the industry. As a result, the number of SPP holders with age 65 and above was significantly increased by 49.8% from 2015 to 2018. This has become a challenge of ageing workforce in the years to come.
