发展2.5产业 推进香港经济实体化

Promoting Hong Kong's Economic Materialization and Reindustrialization by Developing Industry 2.5

香港经济结构面对诸多深层次矛盾,包括产业结构单一、传统优势相对减弱而新的发展动力缺失、就业结构两极化、中层就业流失、年轻人难向上流动等。根源之一,便是香港过去30多年的"去工业化"导致经济失去了实体基础。推动香港经济的实体化,制造与服务充分融合的2.5产业可以成为一个突破口。大力发展2.5产业,既能带动香港经济的实体化,又能发挥香港固有的服务业优势,推动香港产业从流通性服务扩展至技术和工艺性制造服务,以此推动产业结构的多元化,为年轻人提供更多样化的就业机会。

The hollowing out of the manufacturing industry during the past30years has sowed the seeds of many of the issues plaguing Hong Kong’s economic structure today,including the unitary structure of industries,a polarised employment market,the loss of middle-ranked jobs,and the immobility of the younger generation to rise up the career ladder.The long-term development of Hong Kong’s service and hi-tech industries would require the support of real economy.Through three cases,the author suggests that Hong Kong has a lot of potential in developing“2.5Industry”,which is a combination of manufacturing and services industries.Usually,sectors of2.5industry do not require a lot of land,labour and raw materials.Instead,they require top manufacturing skills and craftsmanship,and are interrelated with the competitiveness advantages enjoyed by the services industries in Hong Kong.Hong Kong can promote its economic materialization and reindustrialization and consolidate the competitive strengths of the city’s service industries via2.5Industry.
