近年來,香港特區政府不時提出要提升人口規模至千萬人的目標。最新的一次,是行政長官李家超在節目中提到,研究顯示香港若要保持競爭力,需要千萬人口的規模。然而,這一說法是否合理?更值得探討的是,為何特區政府如此重視人口數字,甚至將其作為競爭力的指標?
其實,千萬人口的概念並非李家超政府的首創。早在2006年,香港政府便有「九加二」、「一小時生活圈」等構想,當時的唐英年也曾提出香港可容納千萬人口。然而,根據政府的預測,香港人口頂多達到800多萬,而現今的人口趨勢更顯示,達到千萬的目標困難重重。當前最大的問題在於:為甚麼要刻意追求千萬人口?
中國大陸有過千萬人口的大都市比比皆是,例如上海、北京和深圳。但值得注意的是,這些城市的巨大人口規模,很大程度上來自農村外來勞動力的湧入,並且這些城市多以工業為基礎經濟核心。
放眼全球,擁有千萬人口的城市如東京、紐約等,無疑是國際大都會,但大多數發達國家的城市人口規模介於600至900萬之間。縱觀全球,有競爭力的地方未必人口多。例如瑞士的蘇黎世,以質量取勝,吸引大量外來資本與人才。有研究指出,一個城市的最適宜規模約在700至800萬人之間,超出這一範圍反而可能造成管理上的困難。
同時,隨著城市規模的擴大,人口可能選擇向郊區遷移,導致都市過度擴張,增加基建和行政成本。
現實中,香港面臨兩大挑戰。第一是缺乏經濟機會。增加人口並非創造需求的解決之道,只有自由市場能真正發掘需求。第二是土地供應問題。北部都會區計劃希望透過大量建設來吸引人口,但缺乏明確的需求支撐,可能導致成為「鬼城」。例如,高鐵和三跑的案例,均顯示投資回報率不足的風險。
香港一直以來以吸引「高端人才」為目標,然而過去幾年的現實是,本地的專業人才出現大規模流失,特區政府對專業人士的態度引發不滿。此外,「高端人才」也有其他選擇,他們更重視生活質素、專業操守和自由度,而香港近年的發展可能未能提供這些保障。
