Document Summary
Olde news - flashback one year: student protests in hong kong. A panel of 1,200 local leaders, many of them wealthy, selects hong kong"s chief executive, who is then appointed by beijing. In an interview, the chief executive said fully open elections could not be allowed here because they would result in a numbers game that would force the government to skew politics and policies toward poor people. Democracy in hong kong has to be limited in order to protect the interests of its capitalists. Universal suffrage would hurt the business community because their slice of pie will be shared by others. Last class we looked at changes in the canadian labour force and how the supply of labour changed due to demographic trends due to immigration policies. Now we"ll look at changes in the labour market and how the demand for labour is changing . Particularly the growth of the service sector .
