out between August 15 to September 11.

The survey

-

the second of its kind will be conducted by the

Printing Industrial Committee of the Industrial Training Advisory Committee,

with the assistance of the Labour Department and the Census and Statistics

Questionnaires and explanatory letters in both English and Chinese

were sent today to the 473 establishments selected by random stratified

sampling.

The information which employers are requested to supply includes:

under training; the number of existing vacancies; and a forecast of the number

of workers required by 1974.

The Secretary of the Committee, Mr. Au-Yeung Man-tak, emphasised

that the information collected would be handled in strict confidence and

would be published only in the form of statistical summaries without reference

to any individual establishment.
