¡§Hong Kong 2006 Population By-census Thematic Report: Youths¡¨, compiled based on the results of the 2006 Population By-census, is published today (January 25).
The thematic report provides a comprehensive range of statistics of youths aged 15-24 in Hong Kong. It goes into some length in analysing the characteristics of youths: demographic characteristics, education, labour force, living arrangement and housing, and geographical characteristics. Comparisons are also made with relevant results of the past population censuses/by-censuses.
