International Research Journal of Finance and Economics, Issue 69, 2011 - With the impact of the global financial crisis during 2008, the economy of Hong Kong has suffered a severe blow. Youth unemployment in the Hong Kong is the level of unemployment among young people typically measured as those aged 15-19. The problem of youth unemployment between the ages 15-19 calls for our attention. From the second quarter of 2009, the unemployment rate of young people aged 15-19 rose to 24.3%. Hong Kong is expected to undergo a continuous economic slowdown and a shrinking labour market under the financial crisis.
