“Labour Productivity Index and Shift-share Analysis of Productivity Growth in Hong Kong, 2000 to 2019”
Labour Productivity Index (LPI) is an important economic indicator. It shows how efficiently labour input is used for generating real output and is very useful for analysing the contribution of changes in labour productivity to various industries and the economy as a whole.
This feature article analyses the LPIs for selected major economic sectors during 2000 to 2019 and also uses shift-share analysis to decompose the growth of labour productivity for more in-depth structural analysis.

“The Profile of Persons Residing in Private Elderly Homes in 2020”
A survey was conducted by the C&SD during July to August 2020 to collect the age-sex profile of persons residing in private elderly homes (PEH). Results of the survey together with some other administrative records are used in the General Household Survey to estimate the age-sex profile of the land-based non-institutional population of Hong Kong. This feature article gives a brief account of the results of the 2020 round of Annual Survey on Profile of Inmates of PEH.
