The gaming sector has decisive effects on the economy and livelihood of Macau. The rapid development of the sector in recent years has absorbed low-income labour supply by creating jobs with higher income, meaning that the gaming sector only promotes an improvement of low-income economic activities without impacting on high-income activities. Given the influence of the gaming sector in employment and public revenue, the Government is not recommended to adopt direct measures to restrict the growth of the sector, but rather to use the existing surplus to positively promote diversification of social resources by exploring emerging industries.
