Seminar by Dr. Siu-yau Lee
What drives governments to compete for talent? What are the impacts of highly skilled immigration policies on people's attitudes toward immigrants? In recent years, mainland Chinese cities and Hong Kong have engaged in fierce competition for talent.
In addition to relaxing residency requirements, many governments also offer generous financial and welfare incentives. This talk will explore the underlying factors behind this competition, describe policy variations between cities, and examine how these initiatives shape natives' perceptions of migrants. I will discuss the significance of these questions and share findings from my ongoing research on the subject.
