Feature articles in latest monthly digest of statistics
Two feature articles entitled "Labour Productivity in the Manufacturing Sector of Hong Kong, 1982-1993" and "Standardization and Standardized Rates" are published in the April 1996 issue of the Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics now available for sale.
The labour productivity index (LPI) is compiled by relating an output index to an index of labour input. The LPI for an industry in a year therefore reflects change in output of that industry over the base year, after discounting the effect of different amounts of labour input in the two periods. From another angle, it reflects the change. in output per unit labour input.
Labour productivity indices for the major manufacturing industries have been published in earlier issues of the Monthly Digest of Statistics. The article "Labour Productivity in the Manufacturing Sector of Hong Kong, 1982-1993" updates the labour productivity indices for such industries and discusses the relevant factors affecting their variations.
