Foreword

The purpose of this annual publication is to bring together in one volume some of the most important and fundamental statistical series on Hong Kong, compiled by either the Census and Statistics Department or other government departments and organizations.

Wherever possible, data are presented for the ten-year period from 1976 to 1985. For this edition, certain new statistics, namely, salary indexes for managerial and professional employees, property price and rental indexes and Hong Kong resident departures by destination have been included. In addition, a new section on culture and recreation has been introduced and some basic data from the 1986 By..:census and the Household Expenditure Survey 1984-85 have been incorporated.

The Census and Statistics Department hopes that this publication will meet the needs of readers for up-to-date and comprehensive statistics on social and economic developments in Hong Kong. Any suggestions for improvement will be most welcome.

Section!: CLIMATE AND GEOGRAPHY

Hong Kong is on the south-east coast of China, adjoining the province of Guangdong. It is just inside the tropics, about 130 kilometres south of the Tropic of Cancer, and lies between latitudes 22°9' and 22°37'N and longitudes 113°52' and l l4°30'E. The twin cities of Victoria on Hong Kong Island, and Kowloon on the mainland, stand on either side of the harbour, and are about 130 kilometres south-east of Guangzhou and 65 kilometres east of Macau.

The total land area of Hong Kong was 1 069 square kilometres in December 1985. The area of Hong Kong Island itself, together with a number of small adjacent islands, was 80 square kilometres and that of Kowloon and Stonecutters Island was 46 square kilometres. The New Territories, which consist of a peninsula containing several 'new towns' and more than 230 islands, had a total area of 943 square kilometres.

Hong Kong enjoys a variety of weather from season to season unusual for tropical countries. The winter monsoon normally begins in September and lasts to mid-March or occasionally to May. Early winter is the most pleasant time of the year. The summer monsoon occurs from mid-April to September but is not so persistent. Summer is the rainy season and is almost continuously hot and humid. Tropical cyclones are most common from July to September. In an average year about five can be expected to cause strong winds (41-62 km/h) and about one or two gale force winds (63-87 km/h). About once in every five years the centre of a fully developed typhoon comes close enough to cause sustained winds of hurricane force, i.e. 118 km/h or more.

Statistics of meteorological observations are taken from the records of the Royal Observatory. They refer to observations made at the Royal Observatory, except that evaporation and sunshine are measured at King's Park Meteorological Station and winds are recorded at Waglan Island. Unless otherwise specified, the normals for the various meteorological elements are the averages during the period 1951-1980.

Areas of various census districts are obtained from the Lands Department. Information on land utilization is supplied by the Agriculture and Fisheries Department.

Section 2: POPULATION AND VITAL STATISTICS

Statistics on socio-economic characteristics of the population in Tables 2.1 to 2.8 have been obtained from the various population censuses.

Statistics relating to live births and deaths refer to known occurrences of such events. Statistics relating to marriages refer to such events as were registered with the Registrar of Marriages during the period

covered. The :figures include marriages performed at the official registries and at licensed places of public worship; they include also marriages other than first marriages.

A domestic household is a group of persons who live in the same living quarters and share a common provision of food, the expenditure of which is borne by one or more of its members. The group may consist of related family members and/ or unrelated persons. A one-person household responsible for his/her own expenses is also classified as domestic.

Monthly household income is defined as follows: a. for the 1971 Census The total monthly receipts of all members of the household from all sources, whether earned

(salaries, commissions and earnings from part-time work, but excluding annual bonuses), un­earned payments (dividends, interest, rent, remittances, pensions, etc.) or profits from the house­hold's own business. The income :figures for the marine census refer to December 1970 and for the land census to January 1971.

b. for the 1976 By-census Sum of personal income (consisting of earnings in cash from main employment and other cash income) of persons aged 12 or over who were found to be in the household during the reference night. For an employer or self-employed, earnings excluded expenses incurred in running the business. For an employee, the amount earned included salary or wages, commissions, bonuses, overtime, tips and other cash allowances except housing allowance. The income :figures for the marine census refer to May and for the land census to July 1976.

c. for the 1981 Census Sum of personal income (i.e. earnings in cash from employment and other cash income) of persons aged 12 and over who were found to be in the household at the census reference night.

d. for the 1986 By-census Sum of personal income (i.e. earnings in cash from employment and other cash income) of persons aged 13 and over who were found to be in the household at the census reference night.

Figures for the 1986 By-census incorporate an upward adjustment to allow for persons in non-contacted households. Similar adjustment was made for the 1976 By-census and 1981 Census :figures.

Divorce statistics are supplied by the Judiciary.

Section 3: LABOUR

Figures on the labour force, labour force participation rate, unemployment and unemployment rate in Tables 3.1 to 3.5 are obtained from the Labour Force Surveys and General Household Surveys.

In the Labour Force Survey, economically active population is defined as persons aged 15 and over who were engaged in productive work for at least 15 hours during the seven days before enumeration (the hours criterion did not apply to employers, outworkers, self-employed, unpaid workers, farmers and fishermen), or who were on leave, and persons aged 15 to 64 who would have been engaged in productive work but were currently unemployed.

In the General Household Survey before 1985, economically active population is defined as persons aged 15 and over who performed some work for pay or profit; or who were on leave or on industrial dispute; or who were unpaid workers working for at least 15 hours during the seven days before enumeration; and persons aged 15 and over who would have been engaged in productive work but were currently unemployed.

In the General Household Survey in 1985, economically active population is defined as persons aged 15 and over who worked for at least one hour for pay or profit (including unpaid family workers) during the seven days before enumeration; or who had a job or enterprise but were temporarily not at work for reasons such as illness or injury, leave, strike, mechanical break-down, bad weather, etc. and were tested to have formal job attachment; and persons aged 15 and over who would have been engaged in productive work but were currently unemployed.

Figures in Tables 3.6 to 3.9 are obtained from 1981 Population Census. Prior to April 1980, statistics of employment and vacancies were compiled quarterly from separate employment surveys in

various sectors. Starting from April 1980, statistics of employment, vacancies and payroll are collected quarterly by an integrated Survey of

Employment, Vacancies and Payroll. In terms of the United Nations International Standard Industrial Classification (1968), the survey covers the following economic sectors:

J.S.I.C. M ajar Division

2 3 4 6 7 8 9

Economic Sector

Mining and Quarrying Manufacturing Electricity and Gas Wholesale, Retail and Import/Export Trades, Restaurants and Hotels Transport, Storage and Communication Financing, Insurance, Real Estate and Business Services Community, Social and Personal Services

For Major Divisions 7 and 9, the coverage is incomplete. Major expansions of industry coverage in these two major divisions took place in 1970, 1976 and 1977. As for Major Division 8, there was also a major expansion of industry coverage in 1973. Complete coverage of industry was attained in 1975. Economic activities not yet covered by the survey are:

I.S.I.C. Major Division

1 6 7 9

Economic Activities Not Covered

Agriculture, hunting, forestry and fishing (whole division) Hawkers, street vendors, retail pitches (other than market stalls) Taxis, public light buses, marine cargo handling services and tow boats Veterinary services, religious organizations, authors and other independent artists, domestic servants, and miscellaneous recreational and personal services

For the construction sector, employment statistics are collected for site workers only at building and construction sites which include: (a) sites in the private sector: all construction sites registered with the Buildings Ordinance Office, including those super­

structures on sites above the Mass Transit Railway Stations or the Kowloon-Canton Railway Stations which were registered with the Buildings Ordinance Office, e.g. those real-estate development projects developed jointly with private developers.

(b) sites in the public sector: all sites under the charge of the Building Development Department, Engineering Development Department, New Territories Development Department, Water Supplies Department and the Housing Department; including Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation sites not registered with the Buildings Ordinance Office, for which construction work was committed, contracted or started before 1.2.1983.

(c) railway construction sites: construction sites contracted out by the Mass Transit Railway Corporation and the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation that are not registered with the Buildings Ordinance Office. In the case of Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation sites, only those contracted out after 1.2.1983 are included. Those contracted out before 1.2.1983 are included under (b).

Construction sites for village-type houses registered with the City and New Territories Administration are excluded. Statistics exclude minor alterations and additions, repairs, maintenance, partitioning and interior decoration work on existing buildings.

Following the re-organization of the Public Works Department into several departments in April 1982, the description of the statistical series on persons engaged at sites contracted by 'Public Works Department' given in Tables 3.12 and 3.13 is revised to read as sites contracted by 'other Government departments'.

As from the second quarter of 1985, employment figures in the public sector are compiled from the returns submitted by individual Government departments to the Civil Service Branch. Persons engaged include all direct employees paid under the

21

personal emolument vote on the reference date which, since this quarter, falls on the first of January, April, July, October of each year. This change in definition and reference date has negligible effect on the continuity of the employment series in the public sector. Classification of Government departments and sections by purpose is based on the System of National Accounts Classification for Government expenditure with some modifications. The former Kowloon-Canton Railway Department has been separated from the Government with effect from 1.2.1983 and accordingly its employment is excluded from Government employment.

An 'establishment' is defined as an economic unit which engages, under a single ownership or control, in one (or predominantly one) kind of economic activity at a single physical location.

'Persons engaged' refer to working proprietors, active business partners, unpaid family workers and all employees of the establishment who are either at work for pay or profit, or are temporarily absent from work, i.e. on short-term leave such as sick leave, casual leave or paid vacation. Excluded are outworkers, and persons on indefinite leave and on pension. Part-time and casual employees and unpaid family workers who worked for less than 3 hours of the normal working time on the reference date are also not included.

'Reported vacancies' refer to those unfilled, immediately available job openings for which the establishment is actively trying to recruit personnel.

'Payroll' refers to wages and salaries, bonuses and gratuities, commissions and allowances and cash payment in other forms paid directly to all employees. Profits earned by proprietors and business partners, pensions, and payment to outworkers are, however, excluded.

The 'nominal index of payroll per person engaged' is derived from the employment and total payroll figures. The 'real index of payroll per person engaged' is obtained by dividing the nominal index by the Consumer Price Index (A) to adjust changes in purchasing power.

'Payroll per person engaged' should not be interpreted as average income of employees. Firstly, the time period covered by employment figures is not the same as that covered by monthly payroll figures. Employment figures refer to a reference date, while monthly payroll is obtained by aggregating cash payments made over the whole month. Secondly, 'payroll' refers to payments to employees, whereas 'persons engaged' includes more than just employees. It also includes working proprietors, business partners and unpaid family members who normally are not on the payroll. Finally, as far as income is concerned, employees' income usually is not just limited to cash payments for work as reflected in payroll figures. Furthermore, because of the fact that 'persons engaged' includes some who are not on the payroll and the magnitude of such persons varies between sectors, comparison of absolute values of payroll per person engaged between sectors is not meaningful. However, movements in the nominal and real indexes of payroll per person engaged can be used as indicators of changes in average earnings of employees provided that the employment structure remains stable over time.

In 1978, an economic census was conducted for Major Division 6 for the year 1977. Upon analysis of returns, it was found that a number of establishments had changed their activities and/or commodity groups. As the changes were quite extensive and had accumulated over some time, activities of the affected establishments were reclassified with effect from June 1979. Similar reclassification was also made for Major Division 3 by utilizing the product information obtained in the 1978 Survey. of Industrial Production.

Concurrent with the September 1982 round of the Survey of Employment, Vacancies and Payroll, an industry updating survey was undertaken to collect up-to-date information on business activities of each and every establishment in l.S.l.C. Major Divisions 2, 3 & 4. Results of this survey have been used to compile statistics as from the third quarter of 1983. Statistics since this quarter analysed by industry are, therefore, not strictly comparable with those in previous quarters. To enable users to analyse the effect of this survey on the statistical series, statistics for the third quarter of 1983, both before and after incorporating the results of this survey, were given in the December 1983 issue of the Report of Employment, Vacancies and Payroll Statistics. On the other hand, indexes of payroll per person engaged (nominal and real) have been spliced as from the fourth quarter of 1983 in such a way that comparison can be directly made. A summary of the results of this survey was given in the Special Review Article contained in the May 1984 issue of the Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics.

Concurrent with the June 1983 round of the survey, a similar survey was undertaken for l.S.l.C. Major Division 6. Results of this survey have been used to compile statistics as from the second quarter of 1984. To enable users to analyse the effect of this survey on the statistical series, statistics for the second quarter of 1984, both before and after incorporating the results of this survey, are given in the September 1984 issue of the Quarterly Report of Employment, Vacancies and Payroll Statistics. Similarly, indexes of payroll per person engaged (nominal and real) have been spliced as from the third quarter of 1984 in such a way that comparison can be directly made. A summary result of this survey was published in the Special Review Article contained in the July 1985 issue ofthe Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics.

Concurrent with the March 1984 round of the survey, a similar survey was conducted for the services block (i.e. l.S.l.C. Major Divisions 7, 8 and 9). Results of this survey have been used to compile statistics in the March 1985 issue of the Report of Employment, Vacancies and Payroll Statistics. Based on the results of this survey, some establishments previously classified into this block, notably those in l.S.l.C. 9512 and 9519, were re-classified into appropriate industry sectors belonging to other I.S.l.C. major divisions in March 1985. In conjunction with this industry updating survey, some welfare organizations which used to provide a consolidated return covering the whole organization were asked to furnish detailed information in respect of individual branches operating at different locations. Appropriate industry codes were assigned to these branches and have been used to compile statistics as from March 1985. As a result, the figures since this quarter for some industry groups, notably 1.S.l.C. 934 and 939, are not strictly comparable with those in previous quarters. To enable users to analyse the effect of this survey on the statistical series, statistics for the first quarter of 1985, both before and after incorporating the results of this survey are given in the June 1985 issue of the Report of Employment, Vacancies and Payroll Statistics. An article entitled 'Shift in the Industrial Activities of Establishments in the Transport, Storage and Communication Sector, the Financing, Insurance, Real Estate and Business Services Sector; and the Community, Social and Personal Services Sector' was published in the January 1986 issue of the Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics.

The second round of the industry updating survey for the industrial block was conducted concurrently with the September 1984 round of the survey. Based on the results, some establishments previously classified into this block were reclassified to

22

other I.S.I.C. major divisions in September 1985. As a result, the figures since this quarter for some industry groups, notably I.S.I.C. 833 are not strictly comparable with those in previous quarters. Statistics for the fourth quarter of 1985; both before and after incorporating the results ofthis survey are given in the December 1985 issue of the Report of Employment, Vacancies and Payroll Statistics. The indexes for the industrial block have been spliced as from the fourth quarter of 1985 so that comparison of changes over time can be directly made.

Except for construction sites and Government departments which are covered in full every quarter, surveys in the other economic sectors in the private sector are organised into annual cycles with a full count in one quarter and sample surveys in the other three quarters. In this publication, figures of establishments, employment and vacancies are derived from the full-scale surveys. For Major Divisions 2, 3, 4 and 5 the figures refer to December of the year before 1980 and September of the year from 1980 onwards. For Major Division 6, the figures refer to June of the year. As for Major Divisions 7, 8 and 9, the figures refer to November of the year before 1980, February of 1980 and March of the year from 1981 onwards. In the case of the public sector, the reference dates of employment and vacancies figures refer to October of the year before 1980 and September of the year from 1980 to 1984 and October of the year from 1985 onwards.

Wage indexes measuring the changes in wage rates of manual workers in selected industries mainly within the manufacturing sector had been compiled and published since 1964, based on the findings of the half-yearly Wage Survey.

In March 1982, a new quarterly Survey of Wages, Salaries and Employee Benefits was introduced to replace the half-yearly Wage Survey to measure changes in and levels of the 'price of labour'. A number of improvements were introduced in the new survey, including the collection of statistics on wage rates at more frequent intervals, the use of a larger sample (about 2 OOO establishments) to achieve a higher degree of precision in the estimates for each industry covered, and an extension in coverage to include the non-manufacturing sectors (the distributive trades, transport services, business services and personal services sector) and non-manual workers (up to supervisory level) so as to make the statistics more representative. Employees at the administrative and professional levels are however included in another annual Survey of Salaries and Employee Benefits (Managerial and Professional Employees - Excluding Top Management). Details of the scope and methodology of the new wage survey are given in the 'Quarterly Report of Wages, Salaries and Employee Benefits Statistics'.

The nominal and real wage indexes compiled from results of the new wage survey measure the 'pure' changes in wage rates by holding the structural pattern of the labour force with respect to industry, occupation, sex and mode of payment the same as that of March 1982, which is the base period of the wage indexes. Whilst the Nominal Wage Index measures the changes in wage rates in money terms, the Real Wage Index, which is obtained by deflating the Nominal Wage Index by the Consumer Price Index (A), measures the changes in the purchasing power of the amount of money earned.

Wage rates represent the amount of remuneration for fixed and normal time of work and are defined to include basic wages or salaries, cost of living allowance, meal benefits, commission and tips, good attendance bonus, night shift allowance, year-end bonus and other guaranteed and regular bonuses and allowances. When compiling wage indexes, year-end and other regular bonuses and allowances that are paid less frequently than monthly are averaged out to an equivalent monthly rate.

In reading the wage statistics, users are reminded to note that the change in the wage index for a particular industry between any two months may be different from the change derived by comparing the published wage rate figures for that industry over the corresponding months. As the wage index is designed to measure the 'pure' change in wage rates by holding constant the structure of the labour force with respect to industry, occupation, sex and mode of payment, the movement as indicated by the wage indexes should always be used to measure changes in wage rates.

Attention of users is also drawn to the difference between the wage indexes and the indexes of payroll per person engaged which are published by the department at quarterly intervals. While the former provides a measure in changes in the price of labour, the latter is a measure in changes in average earnings of workers. Total payroll is the amount of direct cash payments that employees receive from employers. Apart from cash receipts, it also includes overtime pay and other non-guaranteed and irregular bonuses and allowances. Hence, the indexes of payroll per person engaged tend to be sensitive to changes in the number of hours actually worked, the timing of the payment of bonuses, allowances and back-pay, and the composition of the labour force. As a result, movements in the wage indexes do not necessarily conform with those in the indexes of payroll per person engaged.

Based on the findings of a new annual Survey of Salaries and Employee Benefits (Managerial and Professional Employees­Excluding Top Management) conducted since 1984, a Nominal Salary Index (A) and a Nominal Salary Index (B) are compiled. These salary indexes are designed to measure changes in salary rates using the occupational and industrial structures of June 1983, which is also taken as the base period of the indexes. Apart from basic salaries, the salary rate is defined to include also cost-of-living allowance, guaranteed year-end bonus, commission and tips and other guaranteed and regular bonuses and allowances. Other items which may contribute significantly to the total pay package of employees at this level such as profit-sharing bonus and housing allowance are not included in the definition of salary rate. However, statistics on these fringe benefits items are separately compiled and are expressed in terms of percentages of employees included in the survey entitled to such benefits.

The Salary Index (A) is compiled by comparing the average of the salary levels of managerial and professional employees in June of the reference year with that in June 1983. It is a comprehensive measure of change in salary levels and it takes into account changes in salary level resulting from movements across companies and in and out of occupations as well as changes in salaries for those who remain in the same occupation and the same company in both years. While the Nominal Salary Index (A) measures the changes in salary rates in money terms, the Real Salary Index (A), which is obtained by deflating the Nominal Salary Index (A) by the Hang Seng Consumer Price Index, measures the changes in salary rates in real terms.

On the other hand, the Salary Index (B) measures the changes in salary levels only for those who remain in the same occupa­tion and in the same company in two consecutive years. It therefore accounts only for changes due to a general increment, meritorious increases and gains in seniority, and should be useful to personnel managers in making salary adjustments. A Real Salary Index (B) is also compiled using the method adopted in deriving the Real Salary Index (A).

Statistics on reported occupational accidents and industrial work stoppages are supplied by the Labour Department. Reported occupational accidents refer to all accidents reported to the Labour Department which have resulted in the death

of an employee or the total or partial incapacity of an employee for more than three days. Statistics on industrial work stoppages refer to number of work stoppages and the corresponding number of working days

(or man-days) classified by International Standard Industrial Classification major divisions. These figures cover stoppages of work arising from disputes connected with terms and conditions of employment. Stoppages involving fewer than ten workers or lasting less than one day are excluded, unless the aggregate of working days lost exceeds 100. The number of workers involved is the number who actually cease work at the establishments where the disputes occur.

Section 4: INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

The 1984 Survey of lndustrialProduction covered the activities of mining and quarrying, manufacturing, and the supply of electricity, gas and water. The survey was conducted on a sample basis, with establishments selected from a comprehensive register maintained by the Census and Statistics Department and updated by reference to records of the Business Registration Office of the Inland Revenue Department and the factory registration system of the Labour Department. The list of mining and quarrying establishments was furnished by the Mines Division of the Labour Department.

The following explanatory notes apply to Tables 4.1-4.6: 1. The statistics cover all establishments that had operated during the reference year, including both the reporting and non-reporting establishments. Non-reporting establishments refer to those which operated during the whole or part of the reference year but became untraceable during the survey enumeration period owing to closure or removal. The economic contributions of non-reporting establishments are imputed on the basis of reporting establishments of the same trade and employment size. , 2. Government industries consist of 2 quarries, 1 printing house, 20 prison workshops (all included under one return), 2 abattoirs and I water works establishment. 3. Workshops in non-profit institutions are those run by the Social Welfare Department, Hong Kong Discharged Prisoners' Aid Society, Hong Kong Society for the Blind, New Life Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association, Po Leung Kuk, St. James' Settlement, Caritas Hong Kong, Christian Family Service Centre, Hong Kong Federation of Handicapped Youth, Spastics Association of Hong Kong, Mental Health Association of Hong Kong and Challenge Venture Workshop. 4. In the case of mining and quarrying, the figures include one sand dredging establishment which is permitted to work on the fringe territory of China. In the monthly trade statistics, the sand thus obtained is reckoned as a merchandise import.

The indexes of industrial production, which relate to net output at constant prices, are based on results of the Quarterly Survey of Industrial Production, conducted by the Census and Statistics Department, covering all manufacturing establishments engaging 500 or more persons and a sample of the smaller establishments. The production index for an industry is obtained by aggregating the production quantity relatives or deflated value indexes of the primary products or industrial services of the industry, using sales or work done values as weights. Deflated value indexes are adopted for those heterogeneous products that are not suitable for quantity measurement. National accounts value added is used as weights in aggregating the production indexes of different industries. The weights are derived from the 1981 Survey of Industrial Production.

The indexes of industrial production in Table 4. 7 cover the whole manufacturing sector, including the spinning and weaving industries. Statistics for the latter industries, obtained by enumerating all spinning and weaving establishments engaging 20 or more persons and a sample of the smaller establishments, are also shown separately in greater detail in Table 4.8.

In Table 4.8, the production indexes of the spinning and weaving industries for the years 1982 onwards are figures of a new series with 1981 taken as 100 and with results of the 1981 Survey oflndustrial Production taken as weights. The new series adopts 'national accounts value added' as weights for aggregation at the industry level, instead of 'Census value added' as in the old series. The indexes prior to 1981 shown in the table are obtained by imputation, using a technique known as 'splicing', based on the movements recorded in the old series.

Statistics of mining production are supplied by the Mines Division of the Labour Department and those of cement and quarry production by the cement manufacturing companies and the Geotechnical Control Office of the Engineering Development Department respectively.

Electricity and gas consumption are provided by the respective public utilities companies, and water supplies data by the Water Supplies Department.

Note: Figures in brackets shown under the rows of 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983 and 1984 denote percentage changes of 1980 over 1979, 1981over1980, 1982 over 1981, 1983 over 1982 and 1984 over 1983 respectively. From the 1984 Survey onwards, new definitions have been adopted for 'purchases of materials, supplies and industrial services' and 'gross output'. The relevant figures for past years have been adjusted to the new definitions. #Prior to 1981, excise duties were included iii the values of sales, gross output and value added. As from 1981 onwards, excise duties for tobacco and alcoholic beverages have been excluded so as to

derive value added at factor cost. *Less than 0.5% in magnitude.

Section 5: DISTRIBUTIVE TRADES, TRANSPORT AND SERVICES

The 1984 Survey of Wholesale and Retail Trades, Restaurants and Hotels was the sixth annual updating survey since the benchmark census carried out for this sector in respect of 1977. The survey was conducted on a sample basis, covering all wholesale, retail and import/export establishments, restaurants and hotels registered with the Business Registration Office of the Inland Revenue Department, and market stalls registered with the Urban Services Department and the Housing Department. Excluded from the survey were hawkers, street vendors, retail pitches (other than market stalls), cooked food stalls, and canteens in plants, offices, schools, and sports and recreation clubs not open to the general public. Tables 5.1 to 5.3 summarize the results of the 1984 Survey, while Table 5.4 compares the principal statistics by major group and activity for the years 1982 to 1984. Table 5.1 also presents information on Government and non-profit institutions including the Government Publications Centre, the Fish and Vegetable Marketing Organizations, welfare handicraft shops of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service, canteens and hostels of the Chinese Young Men's Christian Association, the Young Men's Christian Association of Hong Kong, Young Women's Christian Association and the Hong Kong Caritas.

The 1984 Survey of Transport and Related Services covered all transport establishments in Hong Kong, including local branches of companies incorporated overseas. It was also a sample survey with the sampling frame covering transport establishments registered with the Business Registration Office of the Inland Revenue Department, vehicle owners registered with the Transport Department and vessel owners registered with the Marine Department. As the vehicle owner records of the Transport Department were used for compiling the registers of urban taxis, New Territories taxis, public light buses and maxicabs, the survey included vehicle owners in these transport services irrespective of whether they operated their vehicles or rented them to others. Non-owner operators of taxis and public light buses were excluded because a sampling frame of such operators did not exist. Also excluded from the survey were minor transport activities such as those carried out by rickshaws, individual transport labourers, and temporary parking lots with no business registration. Summary results of the 1984 Transport Survey are presented in Tables 5.5 and 5.6 whereas Table 5.7 shows the comparisons of principal statistics in 1982 to 1984. Table 5.7 also gives information on Government transport services, which included the Transport Department for car parks and tunnel operation, the Civil Aviation Department for airport operation and the Marine Department for operation of lighthouses, moors, cargo handling areas and Macau ferry terminal service.

The 1984 Survey of Storage, Communications, Financing, Insurance and Business Services covered all establishments in these sectors registered with the Business Registration Office, except banks, representative offices of foreign banks and deposit-taking companies which were separately covered by the 1984 Survey of Banks, Deposit-taking Companies, and Representative Offices of Foreign Banks. Also excluded were private warehouses, cold storage services for fur offered by fur companies to their customers, overseas insurance companies without local branch/representative offices but operating entirely through general agents, agents and/ or management/ accounting/legal firms in Hong Kong, and self-employed insurance agents not registered with the Business Registration Office. Establishments were also enumerated on a sample basis. Summary results of the survey are at Tables 5.8 to 5.11. Comparisons of principal statistics for the years 1982 to 1984 are shown at Table 5.12. Table 5.12 also shows information on Government and semi-Government institutions, including those from the Post Office and the Export Credit Insurance Corporation.

Tables 5.1 to 5.12 relate to 'all establishments' and hence include the economic contributions of non-reporting establishments. 'Non-reporting establishments' refer to those establishments which operated during the whole or part of the reference year, but became untraceable during the survey enumeration period owing to closure or removal.

An Annual Survey of Banks, Deposit-taking Companies and Representative Offices of Foreign Banks has been implemented since the reference year 1980. In view of the number of establishments in the group, the nature of their business, and the distribution of business amongst them, it is not considered appropriate to collect and present statistics on these establishments in the same format, and in particular in the same degree of detail, as in the case of other groups of establishments covered in the Survey of Storage, Communications, Financing, Insurance and Business Services. Accordingly, a separate survey was organized, the main purpose of which was to obtain data for the compilation of estimates of gross domestic product. The survey covers all banks, deposit-taking companies and representative offices of foreign banks. Summary statistics of the survey results for the years 1980 to 1984 are presented in Table 5.13.

The retail sales indexes in Table 5.14 are compiled on the basis of data collected from a monthly survey of retail sales. The survey covers some 1 200 establishments drawn from all the retail establishments registered with the Business Registration Office of the Inland Revenue Department, and market stalls registered with the Urban Services Department and the Housing Department. Excluded from the survey are hawkers, street vendors and retail pitches.

The restaurant receipts indexes in Table 5.15 are compiled on the basis of data collected from a quarterly survey of restaurant receipts and purchases. The survey covers some 750 establishments drawn from all the catering establishments registered with the Business Registration Office of the Inland Revenue Department, the Urban Services Department and the Housing Department. Excluded from the survey are cooked food stalls operated outside the main structure of buildings, canteens attached to organizations and open to members only, and catering outlets operated by and situated within hotels.

The value indexes in Tables 5.14 and 5.15 measure the changes in value terms, while the volume indexes obtained by deflating the value indexes by specially constructed price indexes measure the change in real terms.

Section 6: EXTERNAL TRADE

External trade statistics comprise movements of merchandise between Hong Kong and her trading partners, by land, air and water and also by post, with the exception of the following classes of goods: I. Transhipment cargo under through bill of lading or through air way-bill; 2. Transit cargo; 3. Articles imported or exported by the armed forces of the Crown; 4. Ships' stores, including bunker fuel; aircraft stores, including aviation fuel; 5. Personal baggage and possessions of travellers, not including motor vehicles; 6. Advertising materials supplied free of charge and samples of no commercial value or valued at less than five hundred

dollars; 7. Marine fish arriving direct from fishing grounds on fishing craft registered or licensed in Hong Kong; 8. Gifts of a personal nature where no payment has been made by the receiver; 9. Articles temporarily imported and exported solely for exhibition and subsequent return; 10. Articles imported or exported under and in accordance with an A.T.A. carnet; 11. Circulatory used freight containers and the like; 12. Banknotes after issue into circulation, being legal tender in any country.

The external trade statistics relate to movements of merchandise only. Statistics on bullion and specie are not included but are separately available.

Imports are c.i.f. (cost, insurance and freight) values while exports and re-exports are f.o.b. (free-on-board) values. Imports are goods which have been produced or manufactured in places outside the jurisdiction of Hong Kong and

brought into Hong Kong by land, air or water for whatever purposes. Domestic exports are the natural produce of Hong Kong or the products of a manufacturing process in Hong Kong

which has changed permanently the shape, nature, form or utility of the basic materials used in manufacture. Domestic exports by industrial origin are obtained by re-grouping all 6-digit merchandise export items under the SITC

according to the industries in which these merchandise items are normally produced. The classification of industrial origin is structured upon the United Nations International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (I.S.I.C.). Transactions in gold and specie are excluded.

Re-exports are products which have previously been imported into Hong Kong and which are re-exported without having undergone in Hong Kong a manufacturing process which has changed permanently the shape, nature, form or utility of the product.

Commodity items are classified and arranged in accordance with the Hong Kong Imports and Exports Classification List, Revised Edition, January 1982, which is based on the United Nations Standard International Trade Classification (SITC), Revision 2 with some modifications to suit Hong Kong's own requirements. Owing to the adoption of SITC (Revision 2) as from January 1978, figures for earlier years are not strictly comparable with those for 1978 onwards.

The trade index numbers are compiled from value and quantity data as published in the Hong Kong Trade Statistics. The unit values for domestic exports and re-exports are on an 'f.o.b.' basis while those for imports are on a 'c.i.f.' basis. Commencing from January 1982, the trade indexes are rebased to 1981 (i.e. 1981 = 100). Owing to the re-classification of commodity items, indexes as well as values of imports and re-exports of consumer goods, raw materials and semi­manufactures and capital goods from 1981 onwards are not strictly comparable to those in the past.

The unit value for each commodity classification item is the quotient of the value over its corresponding quantity. As such, the unit value series (as opposed to market prices) are not free of the effect of change, especially improvements, in quality or of change in product mix included within a commodity classification.

As from March 1983, prices of selected imports (c.i.f.) and exports (f.o.b.) are collected and used to compile price indexes. These price indexes, which are based on product specifications, are used where appropriate to substitute the unit value indexes where problems of changes in quality, product mix, markets, sources, etc. exist.

Quantum index numbers are derived by dividing the value index numbers by the corresponding unit value index numbers; and as a result are derived as a residual and subject to the limitations mentioned above. The unit value index numbers are base-weighted while the quantum index numbers are current-weighted.

For the purpose of compiling trade index numbers, 737 items out of a total of I 874 items for domestic exports, 1 518 out of 3 162 for imports and 1 039 out of 2 638 for re-exports were selected. In terms of value, the selected items accounted for 69 per cent, 71 per cent and 71 per cent for domestic exports, imports and re-exports respectively in the base year 1981.

Note: Retained imports are derived by subtracting the re-export statistics from the corresponding import statistics. Since no account is taken of the trading margin and other charges involved in the re-exports, the resulting values of retained imports are understated to that extent. There also exists a time lag between importation and subsequent re-exportation.

Section 7: ESTIMATES OF GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT

Gross domestic product is an aggregate measure of the value of goods and services produced by residents within the domestic boundary of a country or a territory, net of their imported content, before provision for depreciation (or capital consumption). Gross domestic product at current market prices is valued at current period transaction prices, inclusive of indirect taxes less government subsidies. The constant price estimates are obtained by deflating the current price estimates of different categories of goods and services by the appropriate price indexes or by revaluing current period quantities at base year prices, whichever method is more appropriate for the category concerned. ,

Estimates of gross domestic product are compiled by the Census and Statistics Department using both the expenditure approach and the production approach.

The expenditure-based estimates measure the total value of goods and services produced for final use, net of their imported content, and comprise the following major components: (1) Private consumption expenditure: This covers all expenditure by the household sector, including private non-profit-making bodies, on goods and services for current use. It is the sum of the estimates of consumption expenditure on goods and services in the domestic market and the expenditure of Hong Kong residents abroad less the expenditure of non-residents in the domestic market.

Data sources for compiling the estimates include trade statistics, administrative statistics from government departments and various organizations, data collected from economic censuses/surveys, household expenditure surveys, surveys on expenditure of Hong Kong residents abroad and other expenditure surveys conducted by the Census and Statistics Department. (2) Government consumption expenditure: Government consumption expenditure refers to the current expenditure on goods and services by non-trading government departments. Trading departments are distinguished from non-trading departments in that the former are engaged mainly in the production of goods and services for sale to the public.

Current expenditure on goods and services by non-trading departments is the sum of compensation of employees and purchases of goods and services less receipts from sales of goods and services. The estimates are compiled based on an analysis of government .accounts and other supplementary information supplied by government departments. Disbursements which are transfer payments are not included. (3) Gross domestic fixed capital formation: This represents the gross value (i.e. no allowance being made for capital consumption) of investment expenditure in land, building and construction, real estate developers' margin, plant, machinery and equipment by the public and private sectors.

Transfer cost of land and buildings are the expenditure incurred in connection with transfer of ownership of land and buildings. Building and construction estimates for years from 1979 onwards were based on the results of the Survey of Building, Construction and Real Estate Sector. For the earlier years, estimates for the private sector were based on monthly reports of the Buildings Ordinance Office and information supplied by other construction companies concerned. Estimates for the public sector are derived from data obtained from the government accounts, the Mass Transit Railway Corporation and the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation. Real estate developers' margin is the difference between the selling price of the newly developed property and its land and construction cost which is taken as the measure of the economic activities of the real estate developers. Data are collected from the Survey of Building, Construction and Real Estate Sector.

Investment in plant and machinery is compiled from trade statistics, data from the government accounts and statistics on local production. ( 4) Increase in stocks: The estimates refer to the change in the value of work-in-progress and stocks of goods held by manufacturers and distributors. The information is based on the opening and closing book values of stocks reported by the establishments in censuses/surveys. Increase in stocks reflects changes in the physical quantities of stocks. Adjustments have been made for stock appreciation (i.e. the increase/decrease in value of stocks attributed to price changes) by revaluing the opening and closing stocks at the average current prices of the period. (5) Exports of goods less imports of goods: Exports of goods include domestic exports and re-exports of merchandise recorded on an f.o. b. basis, exclusive of monetary gold. Imports of goods are valued at c.i.f., covering all merchandise imports and a proportion of retained imports of gold which is considered as non-monetary. (6) Exports of services less imports of services: These comprise transactions in services between Hong Kong residents and the rest of the world. Data for compiling various items of imports and exports of services originate from the Hong Kong Tourist Association, various sources of administrative statistics, and the Survey of Imports and Exports of Services.

The production-based estimates measure the sum of 'value-added' or 'net output' of all productive units in the economy, for example factories, shops, service organizations. The value-added of a productive unit is equal to the value of total production by the unit (gross output) less the value of materials and services consumed in the process of production (intermediate input). Value-added can be equated with the sum of 'compensation of employees' and 'operating surplus'; the former includes wages and salaries, payments in kind·and employer's expenditure on social security and the latter refers basically to profits of the productive units subject to detailed definitional adjustments. Data sources for compiling the estimates are based on economic censuses and surveys conducted by the Census and Statistics Department, government accounts and other administrative records. A full set of production-based estimates for all economic sectors is available from 1980 onwards while for the earlier years, the estimates are available for selected sectors only.

Economic sectors covered by the production-based estimates are classified broadly into the following: agriculture and fishing; mining and quarrying; manufacturing; electricity, gas and water; construction; wholesale and retail, import/export trades, restaurants and hotels; transport, storage and communication; financing, insurance, real estate and business services; community, social and personal services; ownership of premises and the nominal sector. Ownership of premises is treated as an economic activity in the national accounts. This sector covers rental services which owners of premises like households,

87

government and private non-profit-making organizations provide to themselves and rental services provided to tenants by owners of premises in their individual capacity. An imputed estimate of rent is introduced into the national income calculations to reflect the value of services rendered by the former kind of properties. The nominal sector may be described as a provision for the adjustment for financial services. An imputed service charge, equal to net interest receipts (interest received minus interest paid) is included in valuing the output of the banking sector. It is necessary to charge other economic sectors for the use of this imputed service. However, there is virtually no basis to enable this allocation to be made, and the internationally accepted practice is to create a dummy or nominal account to which is debited the total imputed banking charge. The value-added of the nominal sector is negative and is of the same magnitude as the imputed banking charge.

Ideally, if complete and accurate data were available, the estimates ofG.D.P. using different approaches would be identical. However, in reality, data sources and methods of estimation suffer from many limitations and imperfections. In consequence, different approaches to estimation do not give identical results. If the sources and methods of compilation were reliable, close results would be expected from using the different approaches. In practice, a discrepancy within the range of ± 5% is considered quite satisfactory by international standards.

Further details on the methods and data sources for compiling the estimates of gross domestic product are contained in the publication 'Estimates of gross domestic product, 1966-1985'.

Section 9: MONEY, BANKING AND FINANCE

The old series of statistics for the money supply and for banks and deposit-taking companies were supplied by the Commissioner of Banking/Commissioner of Deposit-taking Companies. The new series are supplied by the Secretary for Monetary Affairs. Statistics on spot and forward foreign currency transactions are provided by the Commissioner of Banking/Commissioner of Deposit-taking Companies.

The definitions of money supply in the old series are: Money supply definition 1 (Ml)-Legal tender notes and coins held by the non-bank and non-deposit-taking company

public; plus customers' demand deposits with licensed banks. Money supply definition 2 (M2)-Ml plus savings and time deposits (other than from banks and deposit-taking companies)

with licensed banks. Money supply definition 3 (M3)-M2 plus deposits from the non-bank and non-deposit-taking company public with

registered deposit-taking companies. The definitions of money supply in the new series are:

Money supply definition 1 (Ml)-Legal tender notes and coins held by the non-bank and non-deposit-taking company public; plus customers' demand deposits with licensed banks.

Money supply definition 2 (M2)-Ml plus customers' savings and time deposits with licensed banks and negotiable certificates of deposit (other than from banks and deposit-taking companies) issued by licensed banks.

Money supply definition 3 (M3)-M2 plus customers' deposits with licensed and registered deposit-taking companies and negotiable certificates of deposit (other than from banks and deposit-taking companies) issued by deposit-taking companies.

Other main differences between the old and new presentations are: (a) Hong Kong dollar components are now separately identified; (b) the consolidated balance sheet of banks now includes inter-bank balances and that of deposit-taking companies includes

inter-deposit-taking company balances, whereas both were excluded before; (c) Table 9.7 covers loans and advances where the funds are for use in Hong Kong, whereas the earlier classification (Table

9.6) covered those where the credit risk was in Hong Kong. Banks' note issues and their corresponding holdings of certificates of indebtedness are excluded from the balance sheets

of banks for both the old and the new series. (Tables 9.3 and 9.4) The average liquidity ratio is as defined in Section 18 of the Banking Ordinance and in Section 24A of the Deposit-taking

Companies Ordinance; figures are supplied by the Commissioner of Banking/Commissioner of Deposit-taking Companies. Short-term deposits with deposit-taking companies in Table 9.3 cover demand deposits, deposits repayable within 7 days or

at 7 days' notice or less, and time deposits where the depositors may obtain repayment before maturity. The inter-bank lending rates are obtained from Wah Kiu Yat Po; figures of bank cheques cleared are supplied by the

Clearing House of the Hong Kong Association of Banks. Statistics of exchange rates between the Hong Kong dollar and currencies of selected countries are compiled from

quotations supplied mainly by the Hang Seng Bank Limited. Figures are based on closing middle-market telegraphic transfer rates as at the last trading day of the year. The currencies are selected for those countries which are major trading partners of Hong Kong. The exchange rates of the SOR are derived by multiplying the U.S. dollar value of the SDR as published by the IMF by the appropriate exchange rates of Hong Kong dollar against U.S. dollar as published in the tables. The effective exchange rate index measures movements in the weighted average of nominal exchange rates of the Hong Kong dollar against the currencies of 15 principal trading partners. The principal trading partners are selected on the basis of their merchandise trade with Hong Kong and their relative importance in world trade. As from January 1983, a revised weighting system derived from the trade pattern in 1981 was used and indexes back to 1976 as shown in Table 9.12 are based on the revised weighting system. The base date is 18 December 1971 when the Smithsonian Agreement was reached.

Information on stock exchange turnover was supplied by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Ltd., the Far East Exchange Ltd., the Kam Ngan Stock Exchange Ltd. and the Kowloon Stock Exchange Ltd. The indexes of share prices were compiled by the Hang Seng Bank Ltd., the Far East Exchange Ltd. and the Kam Ngan Stock Exchange Ltd. The Hang Seng Index referred to transactions in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Ltd.; the Far East Index and the Kam Ngan Index referred to transactions in the Far East Exchange Ltd. and the Kam Ngan Stock Exchange Ltd. respectively.

Statistics on commodity trading and gold and silver exchange trading are supplied by the Hong Kong Futures Exchange Ltd. and the Chinese Gold and Silver Exchange Society respectively.

Cotton was first traded in the Futures Exchange on 9 May 1977, sugar on 15 November 1977, soybean on 1 November 1979 and gold on 19 August 1980. The lot unit for cotton was changed from 25 OOO lb to 50 OOO lb on 13 November 1979 and for soybean from I 5 OOO kg to 30 OOO kg on 18 August 1980; the lot unit for sugar is 112 OOO lb and for gold is 100 troy ounces.

Section 10: PRICES AND HOUSEHOLD EXPENDITURE

The average retail prices of the principal foodstuffs are obtained by price investigators from market stalls and shops throughout Hong Kong during the period specified.

The average wholesale prices of rice are supplied by the Trade Department, while those of live pigs, live cattle, fresh marine fish and fresh vegetables are supplied by the Agriculture and Fisheries Department.

The 1973/74-based Consumer Price Index (A) and Consumer Price Index (B) were based on the Household Expenditure Survey carried out during the period from July 1973 to June 1974. For Index (A) the weights were derived from the expenditure pattern of households with monthly expenditures between HK$400 and HK$1,499, and for Index (B) between HK$1,500 and HK$2,999 at the time of the survey in 1973/74.

The 1973/74-based Hang Seng Consumer Price Index was compiled by Hang Seng Bank Ltd. The weights of the Hang Seng Consumer Price Index were derived from the expenditure pattern of households with monthly expenditures between HK$3,000 and HK$9,999 during the period from July 1973 to June 1974.

The 1979/80-based Consumer Price Index (A), Consumer Price Index (B) and Hang Seng Consumer Price Index were based on the Household Expenditure Survey carried out between October 1979 and September 1980. For Index (A) the weights were derived from the expenditure pattern of 50% of the urban households with monthly expenditures between $1,000 and $3,499, for Index (B) the next 30% between $3,500 and $6,499, and for Hang Seng Consumer Price Index the next 10% between $6,500 and $19,999 at the time of the survey in 1979/80. The remaining 10% of households at the top and bottom of the expenditure scale are excluded from the coverage of the indexes.

Figures in Tables 10.1 to 10.4 are annual averages of the periods concerned. The latest Household Expenditure Survey was carried out between October 1984 and September 1985. Figures on

household expenditure patterns obtained from this survey are given in Table 10.5.

Section 13: BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION

Statistics concerning the output, cost structure and other salient features of the building, construction and real estate sectors in Tables 13.l to 13.5 are compiled from the Annual Survey of Building, Construction and Real Estate Sectors. The surveys were conducted on a sample basis, with establishments selected from a comprehensive register maintained by the Census and Statistics Department and updated by reference to the records of the Business Registration Office of the Inland Revenue Department. The figures on output for 1985 in Table 13.6 were provisional estimates based on results of the Quarterly Survey of Construction Output. Results of the Annual Survey are subject to smaller sampling errors by virtue of a larger sample size.

The following explanatory notes apply to Tables 13.1 to 13.6: (1) The statistics cover all establishments that had operated during the reference year, including both the reporting and non-reporting establishments. Non-reporting establishments refer to those which operated during the whole or part of the reference years but became untraceable during the survey enumeration period owing to closure or removal. The economic contributions of non-reporting establishments are imputed on the basis of reporting establishments of the same trade and employment size. (2) Labour-only sub-contractors were not covered in the Survey but their output was included in that of the contractors commissioning their services. (3) For real estate leasing, brokerage and maintenance management services establishments, only those engaging two or more persons or those that were subsidiaries of real estate enterprises were covered in the Survey.

Statistics in Tables 13. 7-13.11 on completed new buildings certified for occupation and private domestic units with consent to commence work are compiled from details contained in the monthly returns of the Buildings Ordinance Office of the Building Development Department. Private domestic units with consent to commence work in Tables 13.10 and 13.11 do not include those belonging to the Private Sector Participation Scheme and the Middle Income Housing but include small village-type houses. Statistics on small village-type houses are supplied by the Lands Department.

The 'usable floor area' of a flat is defined as the total floor area within the flat excluding any staircases, lavatories; water closets, kitchens and other common areas of the building.

The 'gross floor area' of a building is defined as 'the aggregate of the areas of the floor( s) in a building'. 'Combined' refers to combined domestic/non-domestic buildings such as apartment/commercial buildings or tenement

commercial buildings. 'Consents' to commence work are issued by the Buildings Ordinance Office of the Building Development Department for

private buildings except small village-type houses where consents are issued by the Lands Department. Statistics on stock, supply and vacancy position of domestic and non-domestic premises in Tables 13.12-13.16 are extracted

from 'Property Review' and 'Annual Summary' respectively published by the Rating and Valuation Department. Figures in these tables relate to private building development in areas where rates are levied and do not cover premises provided by the Private Sector Participation Scheme (PSPS), the Hong Kong Housing Authority, the Hong Kong Housing Society, the Home Ownership Scheme, the Hong Kong Settlers Housing Corporation Ltd., or other public works of any kind.

Private domestic units are defined as independent dwellings with separate cooking facilities and bathroom (and/or lavatory). They are sub-divided by reference to floor area. 'A' units have a saleable area not exceeding 39.9 square metres. 'B' units have a saleable area of at least 40 square metres but not exceeding 69.9 square metres. 'C' units have a saleable area of at least 70 square metres but not exceeding 99 .9 square metres. 'D' units have a saleable area of at least 100 square metres but not exceeding 159.9 square metres. 'E' units have a saleable area of at least 160 square metres.

The floor area of domestic units is calculated by reference to 'saleable area', which is defined as the floor area exclusively allocated to the unit including balconies and verandahs but excluding common areas such as stairs, lift shafts, lobbies and communal toilets. It is measured from the exterior of the enclosing walls of the unit and the middle of the party walls between two units. Bay windows, yards, gardens, terraces, flat roofs, carports and the like are excluded from the area.

The floor area of non-domestic accommodation is calculated by reference to 'internal floor area', which is defined as the area of all enclosed space of the unit measured to the internal face of enclosing external and/ or party walls.

Statistics on price and rental indexes in Tables 13.17 and 13.18 are supplied by the Rating and Valuation Department. Shops comprise only those premises designed for retail trade with a frontage to a public throughfare. Offices cover only those in the districts of Sheung Wan, Central, Wanchai/Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma

Tei/Mongkok. Grade A refers to the well constructed, designed and managed, centrally air-conditioned premises in suitable locations within the district. Grade B refers to the less superior buildings in good locations or high quality buildings in secondary locations within the district. Grade C refers to the poorer quality buildings on less attractive sites within the district.

Flatted factories refer to the upper floor premises for general manufacturing processes. Statistics on instruments registered in the Land Office in Table 13.19 are provided by the Registrar General. Statistics on disposals of Government land in Table 13.20 are supplied by the Lands Department.

Note: In case only the aggregated cost of construction can be given, a number of related projects are regarded as one single project and classified under the category corresponding to the aggregated value. Therefore, the total number of building projects in this table may not reconcile with that in Table 13.7. Figures for 1984 and 1985 do not include 24 and 5 building projects respectively for which the construction costs are still not available.

Section 14: HOUSING

Figures in Tables 14.l to 14.9 are obtained from population censuses, except Table 14.4 (Stock of living quarters) which is based on the computerized frame of quarters.

A living quarters is either (i) an occupied/unoccupied residential quarters or (ii) a non-residential quarters which has one or more persons residing in it usually or during the census reference night (i.e. the night prior to the first visit by the enumerator). For an enclosed space to be counted as a quarters, it must be internally connected so that the occupants can move between rooms/cubicles or from one corner to another without going outside onto a public corridor, landing or staircase; and have direct access to the street, a corridor or landing without going through another unit.

Type of Living Quarters is defined as the type of building in which a household's living quarters is located. A self-contained quarters is a complete unit of residence which has its own entrance, an internal kitchen/cooking place, a toilet/bathroom and an internal piped water supply. Type of Accommodation is classified by the portion ofliving space occupied by the household on the reference night.

Figures on the stock of living quarters (Table 14.4) are derived from the computerized frame of quarters which include both occupied/unoccupied residential quarters and non-residential quarters which had one or more persons residing therein during field up-dating.

Tables 14.10 to 14.24 are based on data supplied by the Housing Department. The Housing Department is the executive arm of the Housing Authority which is responsible for public housing matters in Hong Kong.

There are three forms of public housing provisions: rental flats, Home Ownership Scheme flats, and temporary housing in Housing Authority cottage areas and temporary housing areas. The stock, production, size and population capacity of these housing units, their distribution by geographic area and typical rents are shown in Tables 14.10 to 14.19.

The Housing Authority is also active in the provision of commercial and community facilities in its domestic estates and flatted factories in industrial estates. The pro_duction of such non-residential buildings is shown in Tables 14.20 and 14.21.

The Government has subsidized public housing heavily to support the activities of the Housing Authority. Recurrent income is also generated in the form of domestic rents, and rents and other income from non-domestic properties. The recurrent account of the Housing Authority and public housing capital expenditures is shown in Tables 14.22 to 14.24.

A flat is a unit of accommodation in the Housing Authority estate block let or designated to be let for domestic purposes. A Housing Authority block is 'completed' when it has been certified as substantially completed by the Chief Architects of the Housing Department.

'Consent to commence work' refers to the award of contracts to a contractor(s) by the Housing Authority. 'Authorized population' refers to the persons registered on the tenancy records kept by the Housing Department.

Section 16: MEDICAL AND HEALTH

In the public sector, medical and health services are provided through a network of out-patient clinics, specialist clinics, maternal and child health clinics, accident and emergency units, hospitals and medical rehabilitation centres. There are 64 existing government clinics and polyclinics throughout the territory. To complement the coverage, people in remote areas of the New Territories are served by mobile dispensaries. Islands are visited by 'floating clinics'. Helicopters provide a 'flying doctor' service to the more isolated and inaccessible communities. To further expand the utilization of the existing facilities, evening and public holiday out-patient sessions are available at 17 clinics in the more densely populated regions. In the private sector there are about 2 700 registered private practitioner offices and surgeries in operation throughout the territory.

Statistics in this Section are all obtained from the Medical and Health Department. Hospital beds statistics are compiled from the annual hospital beds surveys. Other statistics are derived from the Infectious

Disease Registry, the Tuberculosis Registry, the Cancer Registry and also from various other surveys and administrative records of the Medical and Health Department.

Section 18: LAW AND ORDER

Statistics in Tables 18.1 to 18.10 on reported and detected crimes, number of cases and persons prosecuted etc. are supplied by the Royal Hong Kong Police Force.

With effect from 1.1.1983 the following general rules are applied for the counting of crimes. (1) For offences against the person, one crime will be counted for each person against whom an offence has been committed. (2) For offences against property or public order, one crime will be counted for each distinct incident. (3) Notwithstanding Rule (1) and Rule (2), one crime will be counted for each crime or series of similar or allied crimes

committed by the same offender(s) on different occasions involving, as victims, the same or different person(s) or organization( s ).

(4) Offences which are naturally connected or can be expected be conjoined with a more serious offence will not be counted. After discounting these offences, each category of the remaining offences will be counted according to Rules (1), (2) and/or (3) above.

The offences affected by these new counting rules mainly are blackmail, going equipped for stealing, unlawful possession, possession of unlawful instrument, possession of arms and ammunition and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place. The total reported crimes in 1982 basing on the revised counting rules is 3.4 per cent lower than the original number.

A crime is 'detected' when: 1. a suspect is arrested and charged with the offence; or 2. the offender admits the offence and the offence is 'taken into consideration' (t.i.c.) by the court; or 3. the offender has died, or has been committed to a mental hospital before proceedings are instituted; or 4. the ·offender admits the offence but the police exercise discretion not to prosecute. In cases where an offence has obviously been committed by several people but only one is arrested and charged, the crime is regarded as 'detected'. Also, if a suspect is prosecuted for an offence, it is classified as 'detected' even if he is later acquitted, or if for any reason the prosecution is not proceeded with.

If a person is charged on two or more separate occasions, on each occasion he is counted as a separate person. When a person is charged on the same occasion for two or more offences, one offence only is selected for tabulation, the offence being the one carrying the heaviest maximum penalty.

Statistics relating to courts, magistracies and tribunals are provided by the Judiciary. Figures on prisoners and inmates detained in prisons, correctional institutions and remand centres are compiled by the

Correctional Services Department. The number of offenders referred for social enquiry, the number of probation orders and the number of children and

juveniles under protection of women and juveniles ordinance are provided by the Social Welfare Department.
