The Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) releases today (May 26) a publication entitled Hong Kong as an Information Society (2011 Edition).
This publication aims at presenting statistical data compiled from a variety of sources relevant to the development of an information society, ranging from the recent developments in information and communication technology services, the external trade of information and communication technology goods, and the usage and penetration of information technology in the business, household and government sectors. Analysis on the demand for manpower in the information technology field and development of relevant educational programmes is also included.
The C&SD has recently conducted a review on the printing arrangement of statistical publications and has decided that the print version of Hong Kong as an Information Society will no longer be produced starting from this edition. Nevertheless, the publication is still available for downloading free of charge from the website of the C&SD at www.censtatd.gov.hk/products_and_services/products/publications/statistical_report/commerce_and_industry/index_cd_B1110006_dt_latest.jsp .
