從爭議中找共識 一 港大舉辦退休保障大辯論
香港退休保障早已成為社會一個廣泛關注和爭議的社會問題，人口老化確實對香港社會未來可持續的發展帶來衝擊。不同的持份者對此公共政策議題亦抱有不同的意見，甚至南轅北轍。香港大學社會科學學院期望透過11月10日的「公共政策論壇 -- 香港退休保障：老問題、新思維」，讓持不同觀點的專家學者在公共政策的分析框架下作出討論，從不同的角度中反思這個全民退休保障的課題。

本公共政策論壇目的是要深入探討退休保障和人口老化潛在的相關問題，尋找共識的出路。為此，學院邀請了來自不同界別的相關專家學者，包括周永新教授、蔡海偉先生、黃洪教授、王于漸教授、黃友嘉博士和胡紅玉女士。縱使他們對退休保障均抱有不同的觀點和角度，我們以公共政策分析的切入點找出他們認為不理想的社會現象，對問題界定和分析，到政策範圍和工具的論述，嘗試找出共同點和建立共識的空間，集思廣益共謀對策。
