Hong Kong's rising income gap / Use of Metaverse at university
On Friday’s Backchat, we look at Hong Kong’s wealth gap, after a new Oxfam report suggested that economic inequality here is at its worst in a decade.
It found the richest 10 percent make almost 60 times more than the poorest; a fifth of the population were below the poverty line as of the first quarter of the year; and economically inactive households – mostly elderly people and homemakers – make up a large proportion of the bottom 10 percent.
The charity says the government can help by creating more jobs for the underprivileged, and by reviewing Hong Kong’s minimum wage every year to make sure it keeps up with inflation.
Do you think the wealth gap is at its widest in a decade? Is inequality getting worse? What’s the best way to address the problem?
After 9:45am we dive into the Metaverse and see how two universities are using the virtual space to educate their students.

Public consultation on noise pollution / Proposals to increase domestic helpers' wages
主持人：Danny Gittings and Mike Rowse
On Friday's Backchat, we’re looking into a consultation on amendments to the Noise Control Ordinance.
Under the proposed changes, shopkeepers could be banned from using loudspeakers to promote their products, with a fixed penalty of $10,000 for noise disturbance.
At the same time, events held on 10 specified festivals may be able to extend from the current 11pm until 1am.
Are you affected by noise pollution? What do you think of the proposals? We want to hear from you.
After 9:50, we discuss calls to increase domestic helpers’ wages.
