MANPOWER SURVEY FOR THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY
The Clothing Industrial Committee will be conducting a second
manpower survey of the clothing industry next month.
The survey will be made with the assistance of the Labour Department.
The committee is one of the 10 associated industrial committees of the
Industrial Training Advisory Committee.
The survey aims at seeking such information as the number of workers
at present employed, the number of workers now under training, the number
of existing vacancies, and a forecast of the total number of workers required
by November, 1973.
Because of the size of the industry, a random stratified sampling
method has been adopted to select 620 factories to be covered in the survey.
The information collected will be handled in strict confidence and
will be published only in the form of statistical summaries without reference
to any individual factory.
Such information is vital to the work of the Clothing Industrial
Committee, and if meaningful plans are to be drawn up to meet the training
needs of the industry, employers whose factories have been selected for the
survey are requested to provide accurate answers to the questionnaires cont
to them.
