March 28, 2022: Include domestic helpers in voucher scheme
According to one report in the link below, foreign domestic helpers contribute HK$98.9 billion to Hong Kong's economy each year, or 3.9% of GDP.
Yet they do not qualify to be part of the government's voucher scheme which will see 6.3 million adult residents each receive HK$10,000. This is even though most domestic helpers have devoted years and sometimes decades of their lives to the service of Hong Kong.
Well, if the government cannot afford (?) $10,000 per domestic helper, how about $5,000?!
