"Hong Kong 2006 Population By-census Thematic Report: Ethnic Minorities", compiled based on the results of the 2006 Population By-census, is published today (December 28).
The thematic report provides a comprehensive range of statistics on ethnic minorities in Hong Kong. It goes into some length in analysing the characteristics of ethnic minorities in Hong Kong, including demographic characteristics, education, labour force, living arrangement and household characteristics, and geographical characteristics. Comparisons are also made with relevant results of the 2001 Population Census.
