For complaints that have been substantiated after investigations the schools have taken disciplinary actions against the teachersstudents involved . Besides EDB has conducted follow - up investigations into the cases involving teachers and taken appropriate actions
二及三 就質詢的第二及三部分，現時教育局多管齊下，從多個方面落實預防和處理校園欺凌的政策，並要求學校以"全校參與"的模式訂定及推行反欺凌策略，包括清晰的"零容忍"立場、舉報的渠道與處理步驟、高透明度的監察，以及積極認真的態度跟進每一件欺凌事件。
2 and 3 Regarding the second and third parts of the question EDB adopts a multi - pronged approach to implement the policy of prevention and handling of school bullying through different aspects and requires schools to adopt a whole school approach in formulating and implementing anti - bullying strategies which should include a clear stance on zero tolerance reporting mechanism and handling procedures highly transparent monitoring and an attitude to handle each school bullying incident proactively and seriously
我們採納"預防勝於治療"的原則，建議學校應從小培育學生互相尊重和關愛精神。
We adopt the principle of prevention is better than cure in dealing with school bullying and have advised schools to nurture in students the spirit of mutual respect and caring from an early age
在預防校園欺凌方面，教育局一直透過學校課程、學與教資源和不同的學生成長計劃/活動，積極推動價值觀教育，以培養學生守紀守法、互相尊重、共融友愛等正面價值觀和態度。
To prevent school bullying EDB has actively promoted values education through school curriculum learning and teaching resources and various student guidance programmesactivities with a view to nurturing students positive values and attitudes such as law - abiding awareness mutual respect and the sense of inclusion and friendship
在課程方面，中小學各學習領域、科目和德育及公民教育課程，涵蓋個人成長、人際關係，以及保護自己等學習內容，培育同理心及尊重別人等正面的價值觀和態度，以預防欺凌及暴力等問題，同時裝備學生當遇到欺凌等不當事件時，能以正面積極的態度和勇氣面對，以及適切的方法去處理。
On curriculum arrangements learning contents such as personal growth interpersonal relationships and protecting oneself are covered in relevant Key Learning Areas subjects and the curricula of moral and civic education of primary and secondary schools . The aims are to prevent school bullying and violence by nurturing the positive sense of values and attitudes of students such as empathy and respect for others and to equip students with the positive attitudes and courage to face bullying and deal with the situation in an appropriate manner
教育局亦持續為學校舉辦多元化的學生成長活動，如在小學推行"成長的天空計劃"、為中學生舉辦"多元智能躍進計劃"等，推動關愛、尊重及自律的精神。
EDB continues to organize diversified student guidance programmes for schools such as the Understanding Adolescent Project in primary schools and the Enhanced Smart Teen Project for secondary school students to promote the spirit of caring respect and self - discipline
為支援學校掌握處理欺凌問題，教育局持續為教師舉辦專業發展課程，加強教師預防及處理校園欺凌和違規行為的能力。
To support and equip schools in handling school bullying EDB continuously organizes professional development programmes for teachers to enhance their capability of preventing and handling bullying and improper behaviours in schools
此外，我們亦為學校提供多元化的學與教資源及相關資訊，以加強教師對校園欺凌問題的了解，並協助學校訂定預防、處理和跟進校園欺凌的策略。
Moreover EDB has provided schools with diversified learning and teaching resources and relevant information to enhance teachers understanding of the problem of school bullying and help schools formulate strategies on prevention handling and follow - up on school bullying
家長在子女的成長和學習方面擔當很重要的角色。
Parents play a vital role in their childrens development and learning
教育局鼓勵及推動家校合作和溝通，並舉辦不同的家長教育活動，讓家長了解子女在成長過程中的需要。
EDB encourages and promotes home - school cooperation and communication and organizes various parent education activities so as to enable parents to understand their childrens needs during their personal growth
學校必須監管轄下教師，主動跟進行為不當的教職員。而教育局會嚴肅跟進，並會根據屬實個案的嚴重程度，向有關教師發出勸諭信、警告信或譴責信，甚至考慮依據《教育條例》取消有關教師的註冊。總括而言，我們現時的政策和機制，會從多角度預防及處理校園欺凌事件。
If unfortunately there are school bullying incidents schools should take immediate action to stop the bullying according to the guidelines issued by EDB taking education guidance and protection of their students as the prime concern and then assess the condition
主席，香港考試及評核局在1977年根據《香港考試及評核局條例》成立，是獨 立的法定機構，主要職能是配合本地教育制度與社會需要，舉辦香港的公開考試，以及各項專業及國際考試。
President the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority HKEAA was set up in 1977 under the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority Ordinance HKEAAO . It is an independent statutory body . Its major function is to administer public examinations to cater for the needs of the local education system and society and to conduct various professional and international examinations
考評局一直按《條例》以本身的收入及資產維持其日常營運，無接受政府任何經常性資助。
HKEAA utilizes its own income and assets to support its daily operation according to HKEAAO and does not receive any recurrent subvention from the Government
根據《條例》第9條，考評局的資源包括公開考試或其他考試/評核的收費、考評局為所提供的其他服務而收取的費用，以及由政府為協助考評局舉辦公開考試而提供的資助等。
According to Section 9 of HKEAAO the resources of HKEAA consist of the fees of the public examinations or other examinationsassessments payments received for other services rendered by HKEAA and subsidies provided by the Government to assist HKEAA to conduct public examinations etc
現時考評局收入主要來自考試費、其次為刊物銷售，以及為個人及團體提供與考評相關服務的收入。
The income of HKEAA is mainly derived from examination fees followed by the sale of publications and provision of assessment services for individuals and organizations
就梁耀忠議員提出的質詢，現答覆如下： 一 根據政府統計處的人口推算，預期在香港居住的15至19歲年齡組別人口數字將從2018年起持續下跌，至2022年有輕微回升。
My reply to the questions raised by Mr LEUNG Yiu - chung is as follows 1 According to the population projections released by the Census and Statistics Department CSD the population of the age group between 15 and 19 residing in Hong Kong is projected to decrease continuously from 2018 with a slight rebound in 2022
雖然有關推算數字並不等同參加香港中學文憑考試的考生人數，但預計未來文憑試的考生人數會隨着相關組別人口的變化而有所調整。
Although the projections do not correspond to the number of candidates taking the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination HKDSE it is expected that the number of HKDSE candidates in the future will be aligned with the change in population size of the relevant age group
由於政府統計處的推算沒有識別有特殊教育需要的學生，以及他們在參加文憑試時會否申請特別考試安排，因此未能提供未來5年預計需要考評局提供特別考試安排的學生人數，但相信相關百分比會略為上升；而由於整體考生人數下跌，難以估計實際需要特別考試安排的學生人數。
Since students with special educational needs SEN are not identified in the projections of CSD and these students may not apply for special examination arrangements when they take HKDSE the estimated number of students who will apply for special examination arrangements from HKEAA in the next five years is not available but the related percentage is expected to rise slightly . Owing to the drop of the number of candidates in whole it is difficult to estimate the actual number of candidates who will require for special examination arrangements
不過，考評局會持續檢視為有特殊教育需要考生提供的特別考試安排。二及三 根據《條例》，考評局每年須把周年收支預算及建議事務計劃，包括公開考試費用的建議提交政府審批；並須每年提交經審計的周年帳目及事務報告，供立法會省覽。
However HKEAA will continuously review the provision of special examination arrangements for candidates with SEN 2 and 3 Under HKEAAO HKEAA is required to submit its annual estimates of income and expenditure and programme of its proposed activities including the proposed public examination fees to the Government for approval and to table its annual audited accounts and report of activities at the Legislative Council every year
考評局過去5年財政大致穩健。
HKEAA has been financially sound over the past five years
鑒於考評局的主要收入來自考試費，面對近年考生人數下降及參考相關的人口推算數字，考評局已積極採取開源節流措施，包括限制員工人數的增長、減少臨時員工的數目、減少超時津貼，以及減低租金開支等。
Since its income is mainly derived from examination fees HKEAA is proactively adopting measures to generate revenue and manage costs including controlling the increase of the number of personnel reducing the number of temporary staff lowering the overtime allowance and cost savings from rental etc in the face of decreasing number of candidates in recent years and the relevant population projections
當中為確保考評質素，以及保障考生可獲得公平評核，考評局會繼續適切地推動有必要的項目，包括為有特殊教育需要的考生提供的特別考試安排。而考評局每年檢討文憑試費用時，均考慮多項因素，包括安排考試 的成本、本港的經濟狀況、通脹率、考生及家長的負擔能力，以及考評局的財政狀況等。
To ensure the quality of assessment and fair assessment for candidates HKEAA will continue to implement necessary measures as appropriate including the provision of special examination arrangements to candidates with SEN HKEAA will review HKDSE fees annually taking into account various factors which include the cost of arranging examinations the economic conditions of Hong Kong inflation the affordability of students and parents and the financial situation of HKEAA etc
政府在審批調整公開考試費用的建議時亦會考慮這些因素。
The Government will also take into consideration these factors when approving the proposed adjustment to the public examination fees
為確保學生不會因經濟問題而不能參加公開考試，在職家庭及學生資助事務處設有考試費減免計劃，為合資格的文憑試考生減免考試費。
To ensure that no students will be denied access to public examinations because of financial difficulties the Working Family and Student Financial Assistance Agency administers the Examination Fee Remission Scheme to provide assistance to eligible HKDSE candidates
考評局是在香港舉辦公開考試的法定機關，亦是政府提供優質教育制度的策略夥伴。
HKEAA is the statutory authority in Hong Kong for conducting public examinations and a strategic partner of the Government in providing quality education
政府會繼續留意該局的財政狀況、舉辦公開考試的日常營運開支和考試費水平，鼓勵該局繼續開源節流，並適時與該局商討可行的財務方案，讓該局縱然在文憑試考生人數下跌的情況下，仍能持續向公眾提供專業的考評服務。
The Government will continue to keep in view the financial position of HKEAA the operational expenses of conducting public examinations as well as the level of examination fees and to encourage HKEAA to continue with its efforts to cut costs and generate additional revenue . Besides the Government will confer with HKEAA on a feasible financial plan in due course to help it maintain its provision of professional examinations and assessment services to the public despite a drop in the number of HKDSE candidates
主席，考評局人手的要求或數目，當然是根據實際運作上的需要而決定。
President the manpower requirements or establishment of HKEAA are of course determined by actual operational needs
至於薪酬調整，考評局在2014年曾經進行一項顧問研究，考慮究竟薪酬的調節應該是多少。
As for pay adjustment HKEAA actually commissioned a consultancy study in 2014 to ascertain the rates of pay adjustment for its staff
我剛才在主體答覆也指出，平均來說，我們仍然覺得考評局在過去5年整體的財政狀況仍然是穩健的。
But as I pointed out in the main reply we think that HKEAAs overall financial position has been sound over the past five years on average
我們會與考評局繼續就其未來的財政狀況作深入的討論及研究，但目前來說，我覺得政府在現階段未必有需要介入。
In conjunction with HKEAA we will continue to hold in - depth discussions and studies on its financial position in the future . But for the time being and at this stage I do not think it is necessary for the Government to step in
主席，我不知道葉議員曾多仔細地查看考評局的數字。
President I just wonder how carefully Mr IP has checked the statistics of HKEAA
但是，我們對運用公共資源的看法相當負責任。
However we hold a very responsible attitude towards the use of public resources
所以，考評局在商討時，必須令政府滿意，考評局的運作成本是合理的，而引致的虧損或盈餘數額也是合理的。
Hence when discussing the matter with us HKEAA must satisfy the Government that its operating costs are at a reasonable level and so are its amounts of deficit or surplus
之後，我才會考慮下一步工作。
I will consider what to do next after all this
但是，無論如何，維持一個公平、有效率的考試，對於整個教育制度非常重要，這也是我們首要的考慮因素。
But in any case ensuring the fair and efficient conduct of examinations is of very great importance to the entire education system and this is our prime consideration
主席，正如我在主體答覆中所說的，在考評局的收入來源之中，文憑試考試費是其中一項，而其他考試費、其他服務收費或政府提供的資助也是其中的收入來源。
President as I said in the main reply one source of HKEAAs income is HKDSE fees and there are other sources including various other examination fees different types of services charges and government funding
所以，如果需要增加收入時，這數個項目也有可能性。
Therefore if there is a need to increase HKEAAs income these other sources may also be considered
考評局在1977年成立，當時是港英政府時期。
HKEAA was set up in 1977 when Hong Kong was still under British administration
時至今天，我們自己 人管自己人，本港的教育制度，應該為本地學生提供優質教育，我們不應該將1977年的概念，套入至2017年的運作。
But today Hong Kong is run by ourselves . For this reason our education system should now aim to provide quality education to our students and the policy considerations back in 1977 must no longer be used as the basis of operation in 2017
事實上，雖然現時每年的文憑試考試費也可能調整，但其實亦未能收回所有成本。
Admittedly the HKDSE fee may be adjusted annually but still any such fee increases may not necessarily enable HKEAA to recover the costs fully
大部分考生在整個求學過程中可能只會考1次文憑試，考試費對他們或其家庭而言應不是一個重大負擔。
Since most students will take HKDSE only once in their school life the examination fee probably will not pose any heavy burden to them or their families
對於在經濟上有需要的同學，在職家庭及學生資助事務處設有考試費減免計劃，這可確保有經濟需要的學生不會因為沒有資源而未能應考。
And in case any candidates need any financial assistance they can seek help from the Examination Fee Remission Scheme administered by the Working Family and Student Financial Assistance Agency . The Scheme aims to ensure that students in financial assistance will not be denied enrolment to public examinations through lack of means
我不會說我們永遠不會考慮，但我們的確需要作出長期政策研究，以及考慮相關的結果和影響。
I will not say that it will never be considered but we really need to do some long - term policy studies and consider all related consequences and impact
我們多年以來也是這樣做，亦看不到教育質素受到任何直接的影響，所以，我覺得大家可以繼續在這個問題上探討。
We have been doing things this way over all the years and we do not observe any direct impact on the quality of education . I thus think we can continue to explore this issue
我們與考評局商討時，會將這項提議作為其中一個可行的方案來考慮。
In our discussion with HKEAA this proposal will be discussed as one feasible option
由於土地資源短缺，除非有相關政策局的政策支持，政府一般不會為受影響經營者提供在政府或新發展土地重置的安排。
Given the shortage of land resources no arrangement will normally be made for the affected operators to relocate livestock farms to Government land or new development areas unless with the policy support of the relevant Policy Bureaux
儘管如此，如受影響經營者自行尋覓私人土地重置業務，政府會從規劃及土地行政角度提供諮詢服務和便利措施。
Having said so if the affected operators intend to look for private land on their own to continue operating the Government will provide consultation service and facilitation measures from the planning and land administration perspectives
正如何議員剛才所說，香港現時有4,300公頃農地，當中740公頃屬常耕農地，仍有大量休耕農地可作農業，包括禽畜農場的用途。
As pointed out by Mr HO earlier there are now 4 300 hectares of agricultural land in Hong Kong and 740 hectares of which are active agricultural land . There is still an ample supply of fallow agricultural land which can be used for agricultural purposes including livestock farms
正如我剛才所說，如要發展較高科技農業的新政策，發展局絕對會提供協助，包括覓地、從規劃和土地行政角度提供諮詢服務及便利措施，但前提是必須確立實施這方面的政策。
As I have mentioned earlier if a new policy has been formulated to develop high - tech agricultural activities the Development Bureau will definitely offer assistance including identifying suitable land and providing consultation service as well as facilitation measures from the planning and land administration perspectives . However a precondition is that a decision has already been made to implement the relevant policy in this respect
代理主席，多謝謝議員的提問。
Deputy President I thank Mr TSE for his question
我剛才所說從規劃和土地行政角度提供的諮詢服務和便利措施，主要是針對受影響農場的搬遷問題。
When I mentioned just now that we would provide consultation service and facilitation measures from the planning and land administration perspectives I was mainly referring to the relocation of affected farms
如訂有這方面的政策，我們便會嘗試覓地或研究須否在新發展區內預留土地，使有關工作在規劃和土地行政上更加方便。
If a policy has been formulated in this respect we will try to identify suitable land or examine the need to reserve land in new development areas for this purpose so as to facilitate the work in this area from the planning and land administration perspectives
代理主席，就姚議員剛才提到的"全方位學習津貼"，其實現時學校可彈性安排一些適合的活動，包括本地遊。
Deputy President in respect of the Life - wide Learning Grant just mentioned by Mr YIU currently schools can actually enjoy flexibility in organizing suitable activities including local tours
如果現時若干津貼已安排用於內地交流團，學校當然不能直接把有關津貼轉過來用於本地遊，但我們目前看到學校在資源上，包括恆常津貼方面，它們是有足夠資源舉辦本地活動或本地遊，例如安排學生參觀博物館及圖書館，或到訪本地不同地方以增進學習。
In case a certain amount of subsidy has already been assigned for Mainland exchange tours the school concerned is certainly not allow to directly transfer it for organizing local tours . However in terms of resources including recurrent subsidies we see that there are sufficient resources for schools to organize local activities or local tours . For instance they can arrange visits to museums and libraries or to different places in order to enhance students learning
我要指出，內地交流與本地遊在學習上是有少許不同的。
I need to point out that Mainland exchange activities are a little different from local tours in terms of learning
我們希望透過內地交流，能增進學生對國家的認識和了解。
We hope that through Mainland exchange activities students knowledge and understanding of the nation can be enhanced
在這方面，我相信也只有待疫情能夠受控，我們與內地人員的交流更暢順時，才能恢復內地交流活動，我們屆時也會鼓勵學校多籌辦一些這類活動。
In this regard I believe that Mainland exchange activities can only be resumed when the pandemic is under control and our exchanges with those from the Mainland become smoother and better . We will then also encourage schools to organize this type of activities
代理主席，其實我剛才在主體答覆中已提到，學校舉辦內地交流活動一般有兩種方法。
Deputy President in fact I mentioned earlier in the main reply that there are generally two modes for schools to organize Mainland exchange activities
第一種方法，是由我們託辦，即由教育局找承辦商籌辦，無論是在行程設計或內容上，我們也會參與。
For the first mode the activities are commissioned by us . That means EDB will find contractors to organize the activities and we will be involved in the design of itineraries and the details of schedules
我們可能會有同事就某些交流團隨行，可從中直接看到究竟那些交流團辦得如何。
We may have some accompanying colleagues in certain exchange tours who can directly observe how these exchange tours are organized
此外，我們亦會制作問卷，向學生、老師及家長索取意見，以了解究竟有關活動辦得如何。
Besides we will also prepare questionnaires to get feedback from students teachers and parents in order to understand how well these activities are organized
梁議員剛才提到更深層次的問題，即態度的問題。
Dr LEUNG mentioned a deeper issue earlier which is about the attitude
即使有些學生在內地看到很多事實，但可能仍然選擇不相信。
Even though some students have witnessed many developments in the Mainland they may still choose not to believe
這當然是我們今天在教育或學習方面希望能處理的，即是當我們鋪陳一些事實時，要知道他們會用甚麼態度來看待，從而讓他們反思一下，不論是在態度或將來的表現上作出改變，這正正是我們在整個教育制度中希望做到的事。
This surely is what we wish to handle through education or learning today . When we present them with the facts we have to know their attitudes upon seeing them and find ways for them to reflect on themselves in the hope that there will be some changes whether in their attitudes or future performance . This precisely is what we want to achieve under the education system as a whole
但是我亦承認，我們正面對着很多問題，例如時下的年青人是否經常受到網上的錯誤資訊影響，造成他們有既定的看法，從而令他們更難接受一些事實，又或很難放開自己，接受一些我們帶他們到內地看到的整件事的真相。
Nonetheless I also have to admit that we are facing many problems . For instance young people nowadays are easily affected by erroneous information on the Internet so that they may have some preconceived ideas . It will thus be more difficult for them to accept certain facts or to open themselves to accept the truth of the whole story when we bring them to the Mainland
在這方面，我們需要共同付出努力，我們希望社會各界與我們一起說出正確的事實，讓社會出現更多這種聲音。
We need to take concerted efforts in this regard . We hope that the various sectors of society can join us in telling the truth and there will be more such voices in the community
所以，大家應該看到我們在這一段時間，不論是在教師的培訓、入職前的培訓或是在現時大學的培訓，都希望有所加強，目的是希望可以讓我們的老師明白一些事實，對國家的國情亦有一定了解，從而可以幫助學生更能夠正確認識國家及國情。
Whether a teacher accepts or how he sees the development of the Mainland will indeed have a certain impact on the learning of students . Hence as Members should have noticed during this period of time we have been striving to enhance teachers training pre - employment training or the existing training in universities . The objective is to enable our teachers to understand some facts and have certain understanding of the situation of the nation so that they can help their students understand better the nation and its situation
這並非是以強迫的方式，而是以鼓勵的方式去做，學校亦很樂意協助學生。
They are not forced to but are encouraged to join and the schools are also willing to give them assistance
在今次的高中通識改革中，我們加入了一個元素，就是在課程中要求高中學生修讀通識科時，有一次親自到內地考察及交流的機會。
In the present reform to the Liberal Studies curriculum for upper secondary schools we have added a new element and that is each upper secondary student will have a chance to go to the Mainland personally for a visit and an exchange as part of the Liberal Studies curriculum
當然，這是需要配合課程的發展。
Of course this has to tie in with the curricular development
在科目上，我們很多時候都是採取自願的形式，我們安排了很多與歷史和地理有關的交流團，鼓勵學生到內地研習。
We usually arrange exchange tours relating to different subjects on a voluntary basis . We have organized many Mainland exchange tours in relation to history and geography and students are encouraged to join them
但是，對於其他科目，我們暫時未做到，我們會先看看在通識科將交流團納入課程的一部分的效果。
However exchange tours can temporarily not be arranged for other subjects . We will first of all study the effectiveness of incorporating exchange tours into the Liberal Studies curriculum
但是，今次我們已經在通識科做了這一步，且看看效果才再決定。
Anyway since we have taken this step on the Liberal Studies curriculum we will study the effectiveness before making further decisions
所以，我們就不同課程的重點，都會嘗試舉辦一些比較特別的交流團，令學生可以配合學習，這對他們的學習會更有益處。
Therefore we will try to organize some rather special exchange tours in respect of the different emphases of the curriculum to tie in with the learning of students with a view to bringing more benefits to their studies
主席，貧窮線的訂立旨在為分析本港貧窮情況提供客觀的量化工具，以便持續監察和了解貧窮情況、制訂扶貧政策和審視政策的成效，亦為社會討論貧窮情況提供共同基礎。
President the poverty line was devised to provide objective quantitative analysis for the poverty situation in Hong Kong as an analytical tool to monitor and understand the poverty situation formulate poverty alleviation policies and assess policy effectiveness in an ongoing manner . It also provides a common basis for the discussion of the poverty situation in the community
政府統計處及政府經濟顧問辦公室按貧窮線分析框架，每年更新貧窮數據，以恆常地監察本港的貧窮情況。
Poverty statistics for Hong Kong have since been updated annually by the Census and Statistics Department CSD and the Office of the Government Economist under the poverty line framework for the ongoing monitoring of the poverty situation in Hong Kong
至今，政府已公布8份年度貧窮報告。
To date the Government has published eight annual poverty situation reports
就張宇人議員質詢的各部分，我現答覆如下： 一 住戶及個人擁有的資產價值屬私隱和十分敏感的資料，以住戶統計調查形式搜集這些數據有實際困難，亦不可靠。
My reply to the various parts of the question raised by Mr Tommy CHEUNG is as follows 1 The value of assets owned by individual households or individuals is highly sensitive privacy data . It is difficult to collect such data through household surveys in practice and the information so collected is unreliable
統計處事實上曾經就此作出嘗試，但由於不少受訪者不願意透露資產價值的資料，最終未能成事。
CSD had tried to do so but to no avail as many respondents were reluctant to disclose information about their assets
"相對貧窮"的概念為大部分已發展經濟體採納，包括經濟合作及發展組織和歐洲聯盟等。
The concept of relative poverty has been widely adopted amongst most developed economies including the Organisation for Economic Co - operation and Development OECD and the European Union EU
根據此概念搜集的統計數據具國際可比性，亦簡單易明。
The statistics so compiled are generally comparable internationally and easy to understand
本港一些非政府組織多年來亦以"相對貧窮"的概念作為貧窮情況分析的基礎，反映有關分析框架有一定的認受性。
The fact that some non - governmental organizations NGOs in Hong Kong have for years adopted the concept of relative poverty as the basis for analysing the poverty situation also demonstrates the receptiveness of the relevant analytical framework generally
"絕對貧窮"的概念，旨在量度僅足生存或基本生活需要的水平，例如世界銀行將國際貧窮線定為每日1.9美元，此類準則較多為發展中經濟體採納。
The concept of absolute poverty focuses on measuring the living standard at subsistence level or satisfying basic needs . For example the World Bank has set the international poverty line at US1.9 per day . It is a concept more widely adopted amongst developing economies
三 香港人口持續高齡化，退休長者人數不斷增加，由於他們大多沒有固定收入，在統計上會被界定為貧窮。
3 The population of Hong Kong has continued to age and the number of retired elderly people has continued to increase . Statistically these retired elderly people would be categorized as poor as most of them do not have regular income
政府及扶貧會均明白，以住戶收入作為貧窮線分析框架量度貧窮的單一指標有其局限。
The Government and CoP are cognizant of the limitation of using household income as the sole indicator for measuring poverty under the poverty line analytical framework
因此，扶貧會同意引入輔助分析，讓公眾可更全面理解貧窮情況。
Hence CoP has agreed to introduce supplementary analysis to help the public understand the poverty situation in a more comprehensive manner
