SOCIO-ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS

Note to Editors:

The July issue of the Monthly Digest of Statistics published today contains a special review article on the "Socio-Economic Characteristics of Low Income Households".

This contains information derived from a special tabulation of the 1971 Population Census data and shows the differences in terms of household size, marriage and fertility, education, occupation, hours worked and housing, between households who reported low incomes, compared with those who reported higher incomes.

Copies of the digest are now on sale at $4 per copy at the Government Publications Centre, Star Ferry

Concourse, Hong Kong.
