Key Statistical Publications – Regular Surveys HK Annual Digest of Statistics

◦ Wide range of information from commonly sought statistics like population, size and distribution, GDP, CPI, trade figures to less common data like attendance at museums, ambulance calls and bankruptcy orders …

HK Monthly Digest of Statistics◦ Fixed tables on key economic and social indicators – many on monthly or

quarterly basis (for time series analysis)◦ One or more special feature analytical articles at the last session of each

issue (E.g. drug abuse situation, smoking pattern, socio-economic characteristics of HK residents traveling to Mainland China, etc. See A Collection of Feature Articles)

Hong Kong Social and Economic Trends◦ Annual data – a nice compliment to the Annual Digest

42

Other General Statistical Publications of Interest Gender statistics (e.g.

Detailed Breakdown – need for Census & By-census Data Census or by-census data can provide

breakdowns absent from regular survey e.g. by District Board, TPU; by ethnicity, etc. in addition to territory-wide data

The comprehensiveness of details from the same subject allows cross-tabs difficult to get in other surveys (e.g. the number of teaching professionals with their usual language spoken being English, Putonghua, Cantonese, Shanghainese, Chiu Chau, Hakka …)
