"Enhanced Employment Agency Enforcement: A step towards eliminating one of HK's largest black-market industries"

Hong Kong’s employment agency industry has been criticised worldwide for its widespread illegal business practices. Mr. David Bishop’s KE project successfully lobbied the Hong Kong government to amend the regulations of the employment agency (EA) industry in Hong Kong, particularly extending the statutory time limit for prosecution of abuses, in an effort to eliminate one of Hong Kong’s largest black-market industries. The team organised NGOs and labour organisations focusing on migrant worker issues behind this goal and helped them draft statements for the Legislative Council. In addition, the team investigated several cases of agency illegality with HKU students, resulting in numerous media reports and criminal prosecutions.
