Mr. Au-Yeung said, "At the time of the first manpower survey,
the employment statistics published by the Labour Department showed
that 92,871 manual workers were employed in 1,401 registered and recorded
factorios.
"In September 1972, however, the corresponding figures were
107,953 and 3,112 respectively.
"In view of these substantial changes, the Textile Industrial
Committee decided to conduct a second survey with a view to updating
the information on training requirements in the field,"
include:
The information which employers will be asked to supply will
(i) the number of workers employed;
(ii) the number of workers under training;
(iii) the number of existing vacancies; and
(iv)
an estimate of the total number of workers required by May 1974.
Mr. Au-Young stressed that the information collected would be
handled in strict confidence and would only be published in the form of
statistical summaries without reference to any individual factory.
Employers who have queries about the questionnaire should contact
the Employment Statistics Section of the Census and Statistics Department
by telephoning 5-282596.
