Together with the questionnaire forms, explanatory letters in
English and Chinese were also sent to selected factories.
If an employer has any queries after receiving the questionnaire,
he is requested to contact the Labour Statistics and Surveys Unit of
the Labour Department by telephoning 5-778271, Ext. 3 or 4.
During the period of the survey, an interviewing officer of the
department will call at each of these factories on a date to be arranged
previously by appointment.
He will,
if required, answer queries, assist in the completion of
the questionnaire, and will collect one copy for processing.
It is hoped that employers in the clothing industry will co-operate
in this survey and thus assure success equal to, if not better than, the
first manpower survey »
The first survey was conducted from March 20 to March 31, 1969,
in which 97 per cent of the factories covered in the survey willingly supplied
the information required.
The Clothing Industrial Committee has subsequently analysed and
compiled the statistical information obtained, and published its findings
and recommendations in a manpower survey report. Some of the recommendations
have already been implemented.
