Silver Reboot
The government has announced 30 measures to be implemented by the task force promoting the silver economy, including initiatives to attract the elderly into the labor market, which are expected to increase the elderly labor participation rate to over 10%, thereby reducing the pressure on medical and welfare expenditures. To enhance the incentives for the elderly to re-enter the workforce, the Labour Department's "Middle-aged and Elderly Employment Programme" and the Employees Retraining Board's "Post-50" programme provide systematic training and internships for the elderly, and subsidize employers who hire elderly interns. This episode will cover the training situation of the elderly, and the bureau will also share the content and effectiveness of the programme.
