Survey looks at social characteristics of residents
The Census and Statistics Department continues to conduct the General Household Survey during the quarter from January to March next year.
The survey, conducted since August 1981, collects information on employment, unemployment and underemployment, and the general social characteristics of the population.
In addition, questions on Hong Kong residents' expenditure abroad, employees working short hours, students taking up summer jobs and household expenditure on rent will also be included in this round of the survey.
Each quarter, about 11,800 households are selected scientifically from all districts for participation in the survey.
To measure more accurately the changes in the socio-economic characteristics of the population, the survey adopts an overlapping sample design such that about half of the households enumerated in a given quarter are the same as those enumerated in the quarter before.
An official letter, in both Chinese and English, has been sent to the sampled households to explain the purpose of the survey and to seek their co- operation.
Census officers of the department will contact the households to collect the required information.
