Deskilling
With recent economic transformations, many people with special skills can no longer use these skills because the market simply does not need them. Therefore, employment and livelihoods are affected. In Hong Kong, many skilled workers in the manufacturing industry in the 1970s and 80s have now become "unskilled workers" as a combined result of the relocation of manufacturing processes to mainland China and other developing countries as well as the transformation of the territory from an industry-based to a service-based economy.
