Also published this week are two further volumes relating to
the census -- the Population Projections and the Life Tables for 1971 to
1991. The former volume analyses in detail the rain components of
population growth
-
births, deaths and migration. It shows that Hong
Kong's population may be expected to reach a figure of between 5.5 and 6.3
million by 1991.
The latter volume shows that of children born in 1971, males
may expect a life of 67 years and females of 75 years; by 1991 this
is expocted to increase to 69 and 76 years respectively.
These two volumes will supply the basis for planning government
and community services in the years ahead.
All three volumes are now on sale at the government publications
centre at the Star Ferry Concourse.
The main report will be published in Chinese later this year.
