YRTELNO 1385: RECENT EMIGRATION TRENDS
1. YOUR DESKBY HAS LEFT US SOMEWHAT BREATHLESS. ASSESSING EMIGRATION TRENDS IS A COMPLEX BUSINESS WITH MANY STRANDS. TO SIMPLIFY MATTERS WE HAVE PREPARED A BRIEF FOR YOUR PRESENTATION, TOGETHER WITH ANNEXES WHICH MAY BE USED AS VISUAL AIDS. THE BRIEF HAS BEEN TRANSMITTED TO MR JOHN MORRIS OF HONG KONG DEPARTMENT BY
FAX.
2. DETAILED INFORMATION ON EMIGRATION FROM CONSULATES AND POLICE
STATISTICS ARE COLLECTED IN THE FORM OF A STANDARD DATA SHEET COMPLETED BY EACH EMIGRANT COMING THROUGH OUR INFORMATION NET. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SUCH SHEETS COLLECTED EVERY MONTH. THE INFORMATION IS THEN COLLATED, ANALYSED AND VERIFIED WITH THE HELP OF COMPUTERS. THE CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM THE LATEST ANALYSES HAVE
BEEN REFLECTED IN THE BRIEF.
3. IT MIGHT NOT/NOT BE MEANINGFUL TO YOU IF WE SENT OVER RAW DATA
SHEETS OR ANALYTICAL WORK SHEETS TOGETHER WITH A COMPREHENSIVE LIST
OF ASSUMPTIONS APPLIED.
