MY FOURTH IPT: FAC: EMIGRATION
1.
WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS ON THE PAPER ON EMIGRATION: PARA 2: WE SUGGEST THIS PARAGRAPH SHOULD CONTAIN A REFERENCE TO THE RATE OF EMIGRATION IN THE MID 1970S, WHICH STOOD ON AVERAGE AT AROUND 38,000 PER YEAR.
2.
3.
DOES
PARA 8: GRATEFUL FOR CLARIFICATION OF FINAL SENTENCE. THE 80 PERCENT REFER TO THE HONG KONG ESTIMATE OF 9,000 CANADIANS, OR THE CANADIAN ESTIMATE OF FOUR TIMES AS MANY? IT WOULD ALSO BE HELPFUL IF YOU CAN QUOTE OR ESTIMATE ACTUAL FIGURES FOR THE NUMBERS OF AMERICANS AND AUSTRALIANS WHO ARE RETURNED
HONG KONG RESIDENTS.
4. PARA 9: IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO ADD ANY DATA YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THE OUTPUT OF PROFESSINALS AS WELL AS THE OUTPUT OF GRADUATES. 5. GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD ALSO ADD A PARAGRAPH ON THE IMPACT OF EMIGRATION ON HONG KONG.
