Narrowing Pay Gap Between Degree and Sub-Degree Graduates in Hong Kong
A recent survey found the starting salaries for degree holders and sub-degree graduates in Hong Kong narrowed by 17%.
The survey by Baptist University found the disparity between starting salaries of bachelor’s degree and sub-degree graduates decreased by HK$500, from HK$3,000 to HK$2,500.
Human resources experts attribute this change to the increasing impact of artificial intelligence on the job market.
Experts urge the government to adjust education strategies to consider AI’s effects on the job market and encourage students not to view AI as a threat.
