June 2026 | Housing Policy

We have released Smaller and Smaller: Changes in the Size of Newly Completed Housing Units in Hong Kong, 1995–2024. The study finds that while Hong Kong’s housing supply has shown signs of recovery in terms of the number of units completed, the actual amount of newly added living space has not recovered in tandem. Relying on unit counts alone to assess supply can therefore create a “quantity illusion” and overstate policy progress. Future housing policy in Hong Kong should place greater emphasis on total newly completed floor area, average unit size, and the proportion of family-sized homes, so as to ensure that new supply is not only larger in quantity, but also capable of genuinely improving living space and supporting family life.

June 2026 | Artificial Intelligence and Talent Development

The impact of artificial intelligence on Hong Kong’s labour market is not merely a short-term employment problem, but a deeper shift in how society develops talent. AI is replacing many entry-level tasks that can be recorded, verbalised and routinised — precisely the roles through which young people have traditionally acquired practical experience, professional judgement and workplace intuition.Hong Kong’s talent policy should go beyond AI application training. The Government should substantially expand structured apprenticeship schemes by bringing together regulators, industry bodies, universities and employers, so that young people can continue to learn and grow in real-world professional settings.

June 2026 | Hong Kong Five-Year Plan

Hong Kong’s weak policy research capacity reflects a historical legacy: colonial governance did not require autonomous long-term planning, while the post-1997 period failed to build a sustainable policy research ecosystem. In the new stage of “One Country, Two Systems” and national planning alignment, Hong Kong must treat local policy research capacity as essential infrastructure by expanding public funding, opening commissioned research channels, and developing a stronger talent pipeline for policy researchers.

Policy research cannot happen without your support. Together, we can build a better future for Hong Kong.
