Abolition of MPF Offsetting

The abolition of the MPF offsetting arrangement took effect on 1 May 2025. To ease the transition, the Government has introduced a subsidy scheme to help employers cover part of the severance and long service payments under the new system.

The arrangement is not retrospective, with compensation divided into “pre-transition” and “post-transition” portions. While the MPF was designed to strengthen retirement protection, abolishing offsetting better fulfills this purpose. Beyond system improvements, how can citizens further secure their retirement?

When "YouTuber" replaces doctors and lawyers as the most coveted career among younger generations, it signals a revolution in values.

The Lost Classroom

According to the latest figures provided by the Education Bureau, in 2025, there are currently over 5,000 absenteeism cases across Hong Kong, the highest in nine years. However, children who attend school only one or two days a week, or even just a few hours, are not included in this count.

Youth organizations stated that these potential cases are more severe than imagined. The longer a student is intermittently absent, the more difficult it becomes for them to reintegrate into school life. In the past, the government and various social welfare organizations have provided different types of support and programs for absentee students. How effective have these measures been? This episode will explore these questions one by one.
