Youth Development

183.         The Government attaches great importance to youth development and strives to provide ample and diverse chances for young people to pursue further studies and training, better equip themselves and broaden their horizons.  This will help them seize the opportunities brought by social and economic development and achieve upward mobility.

184.         The Government has developed different platforms to provide development opportunities for young people with different aspirations.  In the past few years, the Government launched an array of new measures to support the diversified development of young people, such as the Multi-faceted Excellence Scholarship and the Funding Scheme for Youth Life Planning Activities, a substantial increase in recurrent subvention for youth uniformed groups, and additional resources to expand the Funding Scheme for Youth Exchange in the Mainland and the Funding Scheme for Youth Internship in the Mainland.  Moreover, the Government will continue to take forward the Youth Hostel Scheme, such that some young people may have their own living space.
