Monthly Digest of Statistics for September published
Two feature articles, entitled "Trends of Infant Mortality in Hong Kong, 1946- 1994" and "River Trade Cargo Statistics 1994", are published in the September issue of the Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics.
The former article describes the trends of infant mortality in Hong Kong from 1946 to 1994. Sex differentials and major causes of infant deaths are analysed and reasons for the decline in infant mortality and scope for further improvements are also discussed.
In recent years, river trade activities have been playing an increasingly important role in Hong Kong trade. This development is closely associated with the economic growth in the Pearl River Delta region. An analysis of river trade cargo statistics for 1994 is provided in the latter article.
The September 1995 issue of the Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics is available at $50 a copy (not including postage).
It contains all information about Hong Kong's latest situation regarding economic growth, the labour market, inflation and many other social and economic issues that have important impact on business and everyday life.
