Hong Kong's Labour Secretary Advocates for Youth Employment Strategies Amid AI Disruption

In an urgent call to action, Hong Kong's Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Chris Sun Yuk-han, emphasized the necessity for collaborative efforts across various sectors to equip young people with vital job experiences in an era increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence.

During his remarks at the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s PBC Forum 2026, Sun highlighted that traditional higher education is insufficient for securing a successful career path in today's rapidly evolving job market. He pointed out that the integration of AI technology is reshaping employment landscapes, making practical experience more crucial than ever.
