Social, Education and Personal Services

Social, Education and Personal Services cover social work activities; education and training; personal services such as beauty care, hairdressing; and sports and recreational activities. This big sector employs more than 500,000 people. Though Hong Kong is a developed economy, there are challenges like an ageing population and juvenile issues. There is always a need for social services. Currently, there are over 22,000 registered social workers in Hong Kong. Their major role is to provide services for individuals across a wide range of settings, like educational, medical, and rehabilitation, etc. On the other hand, Hong Kong has a well-established education system. From kindergartens to higher education institutes, together with vocational and professional education and training (VPET) and education for teachers, over 76,000 teachers are offering various services to address different needs. On the other hand, a strong demand for sports and recreation professionals has been constituted by the rapid development of the sports and recreation industry in Hong Kong. This creates opportunities for those who wish to pursue their careers in the core areas of sports coaching, sports therapy, or recreation management.
