"With a rapid increase in the number of infrastructure projects on the mainland, we expect the average salary there to overtake that of Hong Kong and the rest of Asia in 2007", Glover said.

Because of its better career prospects, the mainland was attracting an increasing number of young talents from Hong Kong.

These youths have the chance of getting more hands-on experience and responsibility across the border because of the abundant construction projects there.

But despite all this, Glover doesn't see a competition between Hong Kong and the mainland for talents. Instead, he said, an exchange of talents will benefit both sides.

"More Hong Kong young talents working on the mainland will improve the economy of both the sides and bring them even closer, which is actually good for the whole region."
